The open-water half of tri training. A tri-suit, tinted goggles for the glare, a swim cap and anti-chafe so the suit does not bite, a sleeveless wetsuit for the cold, and a swim watch that counts your laps so you can stop losing count at 1,500m.

FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Wetsuit or swim skin?
Wetsuit if the water is under about 70 F (it adds buoyancy and warmth, which is speed). A swim skin is for warm, wetsuit-illegal races.
Why a sleeveless wetsuit?
More shoulder freedom for long races, and easier to remove in transition. Full-sleeve is faster but hotter; pick by water temp and your run tolerance.
Tinted goggles?
For open water, yes — they cut glare on a sunny course. Keep clear goggles for indoor pool sessions.
Do I need a swim watch?
For lap counting and open-water distance, a swim watch is worth it. It ends the "did I do 1,500 or 1,600?" problem.

Two suits, one wet one dry — same logic as my two-shoe rotation. Smart.
