How To Find The Right #Wetsuit, hacks for getting your wetsuit on and off quickly #cold #water swim.
Looks a nice swim suit. :)
Love the “occupy yourselves”😂 I’m getting cold watching you peeling it off, saying that ,lovely style and very helpful review.👌
Great video, love the neoprene!!!
My full suit is 12 -14 and fits okay once I'm in. I've got thick calves so the plastic bag thing is very good. I tried my new socks last time and found they were bags of water when I got out LOL . Didn't realise they should go on first. On the plus side, my feet were toastie and the water that poured out was lovely and warm. When I bought my shortie wet suit it had a nick(second hand) which I mended with sugru (still holding up about 5 years later). I suppose the bags on hands stop rings and watches catching in the neoprene.
Pro tip, if you put the wetsuit socks on first then put the wetsuit on you don't need the plastic bag
Thank you. Great idea 💡
Lovely to see you back! Saw you on the BBC during the hot weather we had this year (though not much this year as usual), talking about the risks about getting in the water, and I said to my family. 'I follow her on UA-cam!' Good to see you making new videos :)
What a lovely message. Thank you for commenting. Nice to know people watch and appreciate the videos. Thank you again. 🏊♀️🏊🏊♂️
You didn’t even mention neoprene gloves that’s the first thing that feels the cold 🙄
Try and watch her other videos she does mention gloves.. she mentions them in this video at about 2 mins 20 seconds! .. she mentions them all the time and even does a review and instruction video on them..
Thanks! Amazing and simple
Thank you for your feedback 👍
Hello, I was wondering if I could contact you regarding earplugs? Both my ears are perforated and suffered with ear infection every year since I was a kid. I have a few ear plugs and was hoping for your review on best ones? Would be keen to speak with you if possible?
I'm from Lancaster and just been looking into using my wheelie bin for this! Love it, thank you 😊
Thank you for the feedback. Have you tried swimming at Morecambe yet ?
@@TheDynamicDipperMorecambeBay I haven't no, would like to though. Got the bin in full swing now, it's perfect for after my long runs. Coldest it's been this morning 👌
great video love the seat , got me thinking if you have another wheelie bin , that your coffee table-for the cuppa. and cream cakes, whilst watching the sun rise , shame they don't do waterproof books reading in cold water as the sun rise lol many thanks for the videos series
Thank you for your lovely feedback.
I was wondering, how i will get inside the bin. Then i saw the stool , CLEVER IDEA. REGARDS SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦
Thank you for the comment and feedback. Happy dipping ❄️
Looks like a lovely place.
Heysham cove near st Patrick’s church
Love your hat! Morcambe Bay looks beautiful. Great advice too - three years into my swimming journey and it still feels just as hard to get in. Focusing on the “why” and doing it before everyone else needs me definitely makes it easier x
Brilliant. Glad it is useful. Yes to plan and then get out of the house definitely works. 🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️
I love swimming in morecambe Bay, my friend and I have jad a break from it but hopefully going back in soon now the nicer weather is coming 😃
Morecambe Bay has been beautiful the last few days hasn’t it. The hills have looked amazing. Keep at it 🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️
The thing that worries me here in Manchester is dirty rivers/areas of water, companies pumping out polluted water etc
Yes it’s not great.lots of people campaigning about it now though so hopefully things may change slowly. I have swam in Morecambe Bay for 5 years and I have never become Poorly,but it is certainly a consideration.
How many litres wheelie bin do you need? My bath doesn't cut it for ice baths 🛁
Is it not cold enough? The water coming out of my taps here in Manchester is super cold right now
Vulcan boy this is a 360 litre wheelie bin. Bigger of the two models
Well I made this video I think in March and so the water was still cold you are right. You wouldn’t need to put ice in if you didn’t want to. I suppose I wanted to demonstrate that you can gradually acclimatise by gradually making it colder when you don’t have water nearby.
Hi I’ve just recently made myself a ice bath out of my wheelie bin how often should you change the water as I’m not to sure Or is there anything I can put in to it to keep the water clean? I do use it everyday
In the winter time when it’s very cold it would need changing one every 3 weeks with a tiny slither of chlorine tablet in it. In the summer every week with the same amount of chlorine tablet. I hope that helps. Any more questions just ask 👍
Good to see your recent videos all useful an inspirational.
Great tips especially about wetsuit or no wetsuit. It's not a competition at the end of the day and we're all different. Someone recently told me that one day I wouldn't need to wear mine. I said I'd probably always wear it through the colder months but so long as I'm swimming I'm happy 😊 🌊 🏊 💦
Hi Helen, thank you for your motivation and encouragement! Best wishes from Ireland
Thank you for the lovely feedback. Good to know it is useful
I find you really attractive. I really like your body.
Any information on tides an rip currents in Morecambe bay, is it safe to swim in Morecambe bay when tide is going out?
Good to see a video from you swimming next week in Morecambe bay from Wednesday onwards, if your round at high tides?
Brilliant Tip thankyou ever so much awsome.
Thank you for the feedback, it is really appreciated.
PЯӨMӨƧM 🤔
Good informative video.
I found putty never worked for me plus I got some stuck down my ear canal trips to casualty to get it out, doctors there said they get loads of people with ear putty stuck down their ears! Moving on I am hearing lots about raw sewage being dumped in rivers an seas around Britain an Morecambe beaches are listed as having sewage released there. Do you know anything being local? I swam there about 10 days ago an faeces were floating by! I am in Morecambe again tomorrow will be swimming at high tide 2:30pm ish I think if you bob down I could see you there will be there at high tides the next 3 days it's Julian tall grey hair we did meet once.
Really enjoyed the video and book suggestions. New subscriber :)
Thank you for the feedback. Hope your swimming/dipping is going well 👍
@@TheDynamicDipperMorecambeBay Thanks, it's going great! 😁
Just seen this Helen an it's a lovely honest personal video, Julian Leeds.
Can you do a video on rip tides an are they prevalent at Morecambe bay I swim there alot......I met you briefly a month or two back tall grey hair just getting out of wetsuit near the clocktower.
Can I wear wetsuit and wetsuit gloves and wetsuit hood and wetsuit boots for boogie boarding so my head and hands and feet don't get cold while boogie boarding
I’m sorry I don’t know the answer to this as I swim or dip.
How long did it take put on your wetsuit
@@sashavoitoff7514 maybe about 3 minutes, a little less
Do you think you might make a video of your full body just standing and shivering cold in your swimsuit?
Julian here met you today Sunday 27th March see you hopefully on the 7th April
Wow! Can’t believe I’ve won. I never win anything. Thanks so much and thanks for the shout out. It’s really appreciated. I shall return the favour soon 😊
No problem. My pleasure. Please can you email me your address on private message on Instagram and I will send you the hat. Hope your swimming journey is going well. 🏊♂️🏊♂️🏊♂️
@@TheDynamicDipperMorecambeBay That’s great, will do thanks. Not had a chance to get out recently but I’m going up to the lakes wildcamping tomorrow so hoping to get a dip in along with some paddleboarding 😊
Rob. Hat coming to you this week. Sorry for the year delay 😬
@@TheDynamicDipperMorecambeBay That’s great. Better late than never. Thanks 😜😊
I would question that you swim/dip in cold water at 5.5oC for 20mins in skins (ie without a wetsuit) as this may result in hypothermia (afterdrop) in many people. Love the swimzi but again question that you leave your wet swimming costume on underneath even in the summer after OWS.
The video doesn’t tell people to swim in 5.5c for 20 minutes. It refers to how you will feel after 20 minutes (any temperature) it isn’t promoting swimming for 20 mins at 5.5c. The point of the video is to explain about the vagus nerve. If the air temp is very very cold then faffing around under a dry robe when your hands don’t work leave you more vulnerable than getting to the car or somewhere warm and changing out of the costume. I’ve done it for 5 years and I’ve survived..
My point being as someone who does participate in OWS, and also suffers from anxiety and depression is that i am often not mentally capable of making safe decisions. I do not swim during such episodes. As a 'UA-camr' giving advice a newbie OWS with mental health issues may take what you said literally and jump in for 20 mins then remain in their wet costume. My point was to emphasise the need to get out sooner rather than later as vagas nerve stimulation does make you feel 'good' often only after a couple of minutes in cold water however this 'high' may also result in you staying in longer than is actually physically safe. Once out dry, dress and warm up with a sugary drink ASAP.
Very good information thanks
Great videos hope to see you in the sea at Morecambe.
Hi Julian, Great views and lovely swimming community at Morecambe. May see you at mallows beach some time.
Hope to meet you at Morecambe one time I've just started sea swimming an go to Morecambe often.
Great videos I am new too open water swimming learned alot from you
Great informative videos just started sea an open water swimming hope to see you Morecambe, I visit regularly.
My mantra is “you never regret a swim” and it’s so true. I go through the exact same thought process every time. First I’m thinking WTF am I doing? Then it’s OMG this is amazing - then, when can I do that again? I’ve swam in torrential rain, hail, snow, ice the lot and it’s always WTF? OMG! Again, again! I just hold that thought and breathe.
Absolutely true. Never regret a swim. Stay safe
When I don’t feel motivated I tell someone in my group of swim friends when I am going so that I have committed and together we spur each other on as no one wants to pull out first.
Good idea. Swim groups are great for motivation and support.
I’m new to proper cold water swimming and took my first dip last week. Only lasted about a minute as the water was 4 degrees. Had to wear my thermal boots and gloves too as my feet really feel it. Hoping to go tomorrow but the forecast is rubbish. That could be an excuse but I’m psyching myself up to do it. When I struggle to motivate myself to do stuff, I usually channel my inner Ant Middleton and imagine him standing next to me and giving me a taking to. Usually works.😂 Great channel by the way. Fingers crossed I’m a winner 🤞🏼
Brill. Have you been back since for another dip?
@@TheDynamicDipperMorecambeBay Yep, I went for a proper dip on New Year’s Day and actually lasted about 5 minutes despite it being freezing and blowing a gale. Felt great. I did a video if you’re bored and fancy checking it out. It’s only a short one. 😊
@@RobsAdventures brill. Out then back in 😳😊
@@TheDynamicDipperMorecambeBay Yeah, I’m working on staying put. Slowly building up to it. 😂
Do you stay in your wet swimming costume ?
Good video as ever H!
Thanks Chris. Are you tempted to start.
Just started watching your channel! I absolutely love it.
Thank you for the feedback, it is very much appreciated. I am glad it is helpful.
This is super helpful, thanks so much! Do you leave your wet swimming costume on until you get home?
Hi Sophie, In the wintertime yes I do because I think in the months of December, Jan, feb, that you are more vulnerable to becoming really cold trying to struggle under your dry robe to get changed.
Love the fact about the sperm whales 🐳
Any Dynamic Dipper caps available? Great content!
Thank you for the feedback. Do you think anyone would by a swim cap. It’s a great idea, I hadn’t thought of that.
@@TheDynamicDipperMorecambeBay Yes, at least 2 would be sold
