Hand paddles and pull buoy. Then I can take any freestyle swim set and triple it up, so repeating it by just swimming, then doing it pull, then the final repeat on pull with paddles.

Yep - couldn’t agree more @Zone3official. We take our backpacks for all swimruns. We use the wet compartment for wet/muddy/sandy shoes and then all the rest of our wet race #swimrun kit goes into one bag. With any remaining dry clothes into the other. #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

....and to demonstrate, here we are in 28 degree sun in Greece...with calf guards !

[Ben & Rhian Martin @BenRhianSwimRun]

We agree @Zone3official - we always your 8mm calf guards. In any weather and for any swimrun event (#otillo #breca ). Why? They immediately provide buoyancy when swimming in shoes. So important for your swim position & easy speed. We’re in ours at @otillorace @visitIOS

[ÖTILLÖ Swimrun @otillorace]

The desire of every swimrunner. To be able to swim in conditions like these. Video from ÖTILLÖ, The Swimrun World Championship 2017. #otillo #swimrun #swimming #cleantheocean

Great way to spend bank holiday Monday - Beaconsfield 5 mile trail race, and some silver wear to boot - 🥈overall lady and 🏆🥇old lady (40yr+). Highly recommend the race on Hall Barn… https://t.co/eR6UoizCIj

[Ben & Rhian Martin @BenRhianSwimRun]

These are great open water swimming Goggles....lenses provide very clear vision for spotting of far off landmarks and you can easily change the tightness and fit. Excellent.

[ZONE3 @Zone3official]

It took years of testing to find the perfect goggles to complement the Zone3 range. With the addition of one new style for 2019, there are now six styles available in a variety of colours to suit every swimmer. 🏊
Shop the range https://t.co/M5o0CFcOjj

[Ben & Rhian Martin @BenRhianSwimRun]

I have to agree. These rock.

[ZONE3 @Zone3official]

These goggles look as good as they perform.
