Some people are born with a natural, fish-like ability. They crave open water and seem to have bodies which are adapted to this aquatic environment – wide and angular in all the right places, cutting an unbeatably streamlined figure which can slice through water like a hot knife on butter.
Others discover their love for swimming later in life; not a bad thing. However, getting into the sport as an adult means conducting a fair bit of research with regard to the correct equipment to use. This is especially true for those who enter the world of all-season outdoor, wild swimming.
