In all cases, choosing the right size wetsuit is very important. Therefore, at ASW we say that a wetsuit only swims well with these three principles:
- The wetsuit is of good quality and made for swimming
- The wetsuit is the right size
- The wetsuit fits well
So these three principles are very important. Why? Only when all the conditions are met will your new wetsuit swim nicely and enhance your performance.
How do I choose a good quality wetsuit?
At ASW, that's easy! Because when you buy a new wetsuit from us, you will be provided with a good quality wetsuit in all price ranges. This is because we only sell wetsuits from reputable brands, whose price and quality we personally feel are good enough.
Of course, one wetsuit has a (much) better quality than another. This then also has to do with the price. Simply put, you can say that a more expensive wetsuit has a better quality neoprene and a better fit. This ensures that a wetsuit fits better, tighter and yet finer, which benefits your swimming performance and swimming comfort.
But beware! An expensive(er) wetsuit is not always the best choice for every swimmer. At ASW, we therefore look at whether the features of a wetsuit suit you. Not only in terms of budget, but also your level of performance.
How to choose the right size of a new wetsuit?
Basically, at ASW we look at your height, weight and build. Based on that, we use our experience to choose for you the best brand, the best model and finally the best size.
Then we try on the wetsuit. We will help you with tips & tricks on how to put on the wetsuit, so we can make sure you put it on correctly. Do you have the wetsuit on correctly? Then together we look at how the wetsuit fits you.
When you have a new wetsuit on, we give you an honest advice. Is the size still not quite right? Or don't you find the wetsuit comfortable? Then we just try on another brand, another model or another size. Just until you are satisfied.
How to put on a wetsuit properly?
You have to put on a wetsuit properly, because then it swims really well, it is warm and you get the most benefit from its buoyancy. In short, if you put it on properly, your wetsuit will swim nice and fast!
Moreover, when putting on your wetsuit, you have to be careful not to damage it. For example, you can make damages with your nails or fingertips. Damage can also occur with hard pulling or overstretching the wetsuit.
So you want to make sure you put it on properly. That is why in our store in Amsterdam you will always be helped by one of our wetsuit experts. We are fanatic triathletes and experienced swimmers ourselves, so you can be sure to be helped by an experience expert. With our tips & tricks you are sure to put on your wetsuit correctly.
