Winter swimming often involves short dips, so I like a standard suit that keeps my core warmer but exposes as much skin as possible to the cold zing of the water.
But I do like to get my head in and do some proper swimming, so the best way I beat face freeze is to wear a swim mask instead of goggles.
These neoprene socks have a decent grip bottom with a textured sole for hobbling over pebbles and gritty waterbeds, yet they have the flexibility for proper swimming while keeping your toes warm.
Winter swimming isn’t for everyone: you often spend more time preparing, packing and changing than you do in the water.
