2. Swimming - Wikipedia

   The wetsuit provides additional volume at a lower density and therefore improves buoyancy and trim while swimming. It provides insulation between the skin and water which reduces heat loss. The wetsuit is the usual choice for those who swim in cold water for long periods of time, as it reduces susceptibility to hypothermia.

3. Neutral buoyancy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_buoyancy

   Many swimmers know that there are easy ways to float at the surface, such as lying on one's back or holding a full breath. Buoyancy becomes noticeable when a swimmer tries to dive to the bottom of the pool, which can take effort. Scuba divers work with many buoyancy issues, as divers must know how to float, hover and sink in the water.

4. Wetsuit - Wikipedia

   Wetsuits for diving should be made from less compressible neoprene to keep their insulating qualities. [11] A wetsuit must have a snug fit to work efficiently when immersed; too loose a fit, particularly at the openings (wrists, ankles, neck and overlaps) will allow cold water from the outside to enter when the wearer moves. [13]

5. Diving weighting system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_weighting_system

   The total buoyancy loss of a wetsuit is proportional to the initial uncompressed volume. An average person has a surface area of about 2 m 2, [9] so the uncompressed volume of a full one piece 6 mm thick wetsuit will be in the order of 1.75 x 0.006 = 0.0105 m 3, or roughly 10 litres. The mass will depend on the specific formulation of the foam ...

   Aquajogging, is a cross-training and rehabilitation method using low-impact resistance training.It is a way to train without impacting joints. Participants wear a flotation device and move in a running motion in the deep end of a pool.
