Beginners Guide To Swimming In a Wetsuit

Guide du débutant pour nager en combinaison

Lorsqu'on pense aux combinaisons de triathlon et de natation en eau libre, une idée fausse commune est qu'elles sont identiques aux combinaisons de surf. La principale différence entre les combinaisons de triathlon et de surf est simplement l'épaisseur et la vitesse. Les combinaisons de surf ne sont pas conçues pour vous rendre plus rapide mais sont principalement conçues pour vous garder au chaud. Les combinaisons de natation sont conçues pour vous rendre plus rapide dans l'eau et sont moins axées sur l'isolation en raison de la nature de la température corporelle lorsque vous vous déplacez rapidement dans l'eau, par opposition à la marche sur une planche de surf.

La partie la plus importante du choix de votre combinaison Zone3 pour vos séances de natation en eau libre est de vous assurer que vous avez la bonne coupe. Les combinaisons Zone3 sont conçues pour améliorer la position de votre corps dans l'eau et permettre un mouvement efficace pendant la nage. Ceci est réalisé en combinant des panneaux de néoprène flottants et flexibles dans une combinaison confortable et ajustée.

Les fonctions d'une combinaison sont :

  • Pour fournir une flottaison supplémentaire
  • Pour réduire la traînée dans l'eau
  • Pour offrir un certain confort dans les eaux plus froides

Bien que Zone3 soit l'une des nombreuses marques de combinaisons sur le marché, nous avons remporté de nombreux prix de l'industrie au cours des six dernières années grâce à la conception des panneaux de nos produits, à l'utilisation des matériaux et à l'ajustement. Les produits Zone3 sont considérés comme les meilleurs du secteur, ce qui constitue une immense distinction. Nous avons découvert que 80 % de nos clients achètent effectivement nos produits après avoir déjà essayé des combinaisons d'autres marques. Nos costumes sont souvent préférés uniquement en raison de leur toucher et de leur ajustement.

Il est important que vous fassiez vos propres recherches avant de faire un achat et que vous ne vous laissiez pas convaincre par le prix ou la représentation de la marque. Chaque athlète est différent et vous ne devriez pas vous fier à un produit simplement parce que d'autres athlètes (même les pros) le portent. Dans l'ensemble, l' ajustement du produit est ce qui compte, avant les caractéristiques fantaisistes, le prix, l'image de marque ou la conception des couleurs.

Tableau des tailles de combinaison et coupe confort par opposition à coupe performance :

Lorsque vous choisissez la taille de combinaison dont vous avez besoin, n'oubliez pas que vous pouvez appartenir à plusieurs catégories ou tailles. Nous avons rassemblé quelques lignes directrices pour vous aider à choisir la meilleure taille :

  • Votre poids est plus critique que votre taille (dans ce cas)
  • La plupart des athlètes qui n'ont jamais porté de combinaison auparavant ont tendance à préférer une coupe plus confortable , donc si vous le faites, optez pour une taille plus grande.
  • Si vous avez une certaine expérience avec les combinaisons de plongée et recherchez peut-être une coupe performante , optez pour la taille plus petite.

Voir les tableaux de tailles Zone3 ici


Enfiler votre combinaison :

Lorsque vous enfilez votre combinaison, ouvrez la fermeture éclair et saisissez la combinaison par l'intérieur de l'entrejambe et retournez le haut du corps à l'envers (vous devez laisser les bras dans le bon sens).

  • N'oubliez pas que la fermeture éclair va dans le dos
  • Commencez par passer les jambes par-dessus vos pieds tout en vous tenant à l'intérieur de la combinaison et déplacez les jambes le plus haut possible de votre corps. En fonction de la longueur de vos jambes, vous montrerez 1 à 15 cm de peau au-dessus de votre cheville.
  • Une fois la combinaison enfilée sur vos hanches, vous devrez peut-être l'ajuster davantage. En faisant attention de ne pas endommager le néoprène avec vos ongles, commencez bas et remontez le tissu jusqu'à ce que la couture du bas de la jambe traverse votre rotule et que la combinaison soit bien ajustée à l'entrejambe.
  • Prenez votre temps et n'enfilez pas votre combinaison trop rapidement car cela pourrait entraîner une déchirure.
  • Une fois la combinaison correctement ajustée dans le bas du corps, vous pouvez la remonter sur vos épaules et vos bras.
  • Une fois que vous avez complètement enfilé la combinaison, demandez à quelqu'un de vous aider avec la fermeture éclair. Si cela vous met mal à l'aise, vous pouvez fermer la fermeture éclair vous-même avec le cordon de serrage.
  • Lorsque vous fermez la fermeture éclair, assurez-vous que le rabat intérieur le long de la fermeture éclair n'est pas replié ou replié.

Déterminer un bon ajustement

De nombreuses personnes s’adapteront de manière acceptable à deux tailles différentes. Zone3 a les deux ajustements ; ajustement confortable et ajustement performant. Nos combinaisons d'entrée de gamme, Advance et Vision , ont une coupe légèrement plus droite autour du torse, conçue pour le confort avant tout, tandis que Performance Fit se concentre davantage sur la performance, puis sur le confort.

Les combinaisons Zone3 Aspire et Vanquish ont une coupe légèrement plus élégante conçue pour être compressive autour des jambes et du torse tout en conservant une totale liberté de mouvements autour des épaules et des bras.

Tous les maillots de bain Vanquish et Aspire sont conçus pour être bien ajustés et avoir une sensation de « seconde peau ». Les combinaisons Aspire sont conçues pour mieux s'adapter à la forme de votre corps une fois que l'eau y a pénétré.

Lors de la détermination de la bonne taille de combinaison, il est important de s'assurer qu'elle est correctement enfilée. Vous portez peut-être la bonne taille, mais elle vous semblera trop serrée ou trop ample si elle n'est pas portée correctement.

Voici quelques conseils supplémentaires utiles :

  • N'oubliez pas que vous n'avez pas besoin de vous pencher pour toucher vos orteils ou faire un squat avec votre combinaison. L’important est que vous puissiez effectuer le mouvement de nage relativement facilement sur terre.
  • Vérifiez que la combinaison rentre dans le bas de votre dos et qu'il n'y a pas un grand espace. Si c’est le cas, essayez de remonter la combinaison plus haut sur l’entrejambe et de relever le décolleté. S'il y a trop de tissu en excès dans une zone particulière, cela pourrait signifier que la combinaison est trop grande et risque de laisser entrer l'eau.
  • Avec vos bras étendus sur les côtés (parallèles au sol), le tissu doit être proche de vos aisselles. Dans cette position, il devrait également y avoir quelques petites bosses ou plis sur le dessus de l'épaule. Si ce n’est pas le cas, vous devrez peut-être déplacer les bras de la combinaison vers vos épaules. Pour ce faire, étendez un bras au-dessus de votre tête et faites glisser délicatement le bras de la combinaison vers votre épaule.
  • Avec vos bras étendus devant votre poitrine et croisés au niveau des poignets, il devrait y avoir un minimum d'espace au niveau du cou ou de gonflement dans la poitrine. Une petite quantité d’espace ou de plis est attendue.
  • Si vous sentez que le cou est inconfortable, essayez de remonter la combinaison à l'arrière des jambes, sur le bas de votre corps et autour de la zone de la fermeture éclair. Saisissez la base de la fermeture éclair et faites glisser tout excédent de tissu vers vos épaules. Cela détendra l'ajustement à l'avant du col. Nager avec une combinaison de plongée peut prendre un certain temps pour s'y habituer, car le tissu du cou doit être relativement haut afin de garantir que l'entrée d'eau soit réduite au minimum.

Ce qu'il est essentiel de retenir, c'est que votre combinaison s'adaptera parfaitement lorsqu'elle est mouillée et épousera la forme de votre corps au fur et à mesure que vous la porterez.

Want to swim without getting tired? It’s all about breathing and technique… 1️⃣ Stay Streamlined Keep your body flat and straight, with a slight rotation with each stroke. Engage your core and don’t look up - this will stop your legs from sinking. 2️⃣ Breathe Smoothly Stick to a steady breathing rhythm—breathe every 2-3 strokes or switch sides every 3 if that works. Control your exhale underwater, so you can inhale when you turn to breath. 3️⃣ Relax Your Strokes Don’t fight the water—stretch your arms out, glide, then pull. Keep it long and smooth to save energy. 4️⃣ Kick Efficiently Use small, gentle flutter kicks to stay balanced. A 2-beat kick (one kick per arm stroke) is great for long swims. 5️⃣ Master Your Pull Keep your elbows high for a strong catch and pull the water back with your forearms and hands. You want to feel the water’s pressure against your arm and hand for a powerful stroke. 6️⃣ Build Endurance Gradually Add interval training to your swim sessions to build endurance: swim 50-100m, rest for 15-20 seconds, and repeat. Over time, reduce rest or swim further to build endurance. #swimbikerun #triathlontraining #swimming #triathlon #triathlete #zone3official

Have you paid much attention to what you’re doing with your hands as they enter the water? Having a relaxed hand is best - not cupped but not too wide. This allows optimal force to push and pull the water! What do you do with your hands?

Level up your swim game with hand paddles 🏊‍♂️💪 Swim hand paddles are a game changer for building strength, improving technique, and adding power to your stroke. They give extra resistance in the water, helping to boost your upper body strength and nail the catch phase. When used correctly, they make your arms and shoulders stronger, and they also sharpen your feel for the water, refining your form and giving you that smooth, powerful glide. #swimming #triathlete #swimbikerun #Zone3official #triathlontraining #swimmingtips #poolswimming

Be honest, do you do these steps after each swim to keep your goggles in good condition? 1️⃣ Give Them a Rinse After each swim, rinse your goggles with fresh water to get rid of chlorine, salt, and grime. 2️⃣ Hands Off the Lenses Don’t touch or rub the inside of the lenses – it’ll help keep the anti-fog coating working properly. 3️⃣ Let Them Dry Naturally Leave your goggles to air dry completely before putting them away. 4️⃣ Store Them Safely Pop them in a protective case when you’re not using them to stop scratches on the lenses!
