If you’ve ever tried breaststroke in a wetsuit, you’ll know how difficult it is: your feet pop out of the water with every stroke, and the extra buoyancy puts you in the wrong position. Zone3 just launched the Aspect Breaststroke Wetsuit, designed specifically for breaststroke swimmers. The reduced buoyancy in the lower leg allows your legs to stay submerged and ensures you can maintain a natural breaststroke swimming position.

“The revolutionary wetsuit is set to become a must-have for many open water swimmers and was developed in response to the high number of swimmers looking for an option that can swim breaststroke as well as freestyle,” says Zone3. “The Aspect is ready to transform your swimming.”

Most wetsuits are designed for freestyle swimming only and do not allow for the lateral leg movement required for the breaststroke technique. The Aspect is designed to allow for the extended range of motion between the legs and across the chest required for breaststroke, while still allowing for freestyle swimming.

Made with a combination of 1.5, 2 and 3 mm thicknesses, the legs can remain immersed in the water and maintain a natural position in all swimming styles.
