Welcome along to my swimfari and my top tip on how to get out of a wetsuit. I swim both skins and in a wetsuit, it depends on what kind of swim I'm doing. One of the most frustrating things can be trying to wrestle my way out of a wetsuit when my arms are tired. As the end of my swim, I show my technique for whipping the wetsuit off really quickly with minimum fuss.
I mentioned the video I made about how to use the free RYA SafeTrx app for outdoor swimming: https://youtu.be/98Lkv46vCQw

Outdoor swimming is a fantastic activity to get involved in, but sometimes just getting started can be challenging - what to wear, where to go, who to do it with are all questions that my playlist “Get Involved with Outdoor Swimming” addresses https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrBM9GuZgXX6dGkhGdXU1TPD2N69EA_UU
The Outdoor Swimming community is extremely diverse and welcoming and there are new friends waiting to meet you. Hope to see you in the water sometime soon.
