Acclimatising to the water temperature each time helps. When you dip into a chilly pool, lake or ocean, the body immediately responds with a cold shock response. That\u2019s the initial gasp, increase in heart rate, breathing and blood pressure. Regular dippers can become accustomed to this quite quickly.<br \/>\n&#x200d;<br \/>\nBut the most important thing is to select the correct clothing for whatever watersports you\u2019re pursuing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/G\/Divider2.png\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/G\/Divider2-p-500.png 500w, https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/G\/Divider2-p-800.png 800w, https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/G\/Divider2.png 940w\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-10\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"div-block top\">\n<h2 class=\"hh2 brown _1\">Wetsuit or drysuit?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"main-text black top\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coastwatersports.co.uk\/wetsuits-c-7.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link-18\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wetsuits<\/a> do not remove the cold shock response when you get in the water. The suit fills with cold water and then the benefit kicks in. The layer of water trapped between the skin and the wetsuit warms up.<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-row\">\n<div class=\"column-8 w-col w-col-6\">\n<p class=\"main-text left black _1\">Material and depth of thickness are the most important factors to consider when choosing a wetsuit. You ideally want a neoprene wetsuit with a thickness of not less than 5 mm, although the thicker it is the less movement it will allow. Buy the best you can afford. It will be worth it.<br \/>\nGood warm lining and liquid-sealed seams are essential and you can even buy a heated wetsuit if you\u2019re a naturally cold person. Opting for a drysuit gives you maximum protection from the cold. A drysuit doesn\u2019t let water in and uses a layer of air to fully seal the covering.<br \/>\n&#x200d;<br \/>\nHowever, drysuits are usually more expensive than a wetsuit. And wetsuits will generally allow better performance. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coastwatersports.co.uk\/drysuits-c-579.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link-19\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Drysuits<\/a> are normally best for divers, dinghy sailors, kayakers and also stand-up paddlers in the depths of winter and will take longer than a wetsuit to put on properly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column-7 w-col w-col-6\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/G\/Section2.png\" width=\"917\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 100vw, (max-width: 991px) 50vw, 470px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/G\/Section2-p-500.png 500w, https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/G\/Section2.png 800w\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-9 _1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/G\/Divider1.png\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/G\/Divider1-p-500.png 500w, https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/G\/Divider1-p-800.png 800w, https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/G\/Divider1.png 940w\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-10\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"div-block _1 _2\">\n<h2 class=\"hh2\">Heads up &#8211; cover your crown<\/h2>\n<div class=\"w-row\">\n<div class=\"column-8 w-col w-col-6\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/G\/Section3.png\" width=\"917\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 100vw, (max-width: 991px) 50vw, 470px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/G\/Section3-p-500.png 500w, https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/G\/Section3.png 800w\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-9\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"column-7 w-col w-col-6\">\n<p class=\"main-text left\">Anyone who takes to the rapids knows that a sturdy helmet is essential for protecting the head from knocks and scrapes.<br \/>\n&#x200d;<br \/>\nBut for added warmth and comfort a skull cap or headcase for paddlers or sailors will prevent the loss of heat from an area of the body which can lose a lot of warmth.<br \/>\n&#x200d;<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re swimming in cold weather then a silicone or neoprene swim cap will increase your comfort.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/G\/Divider2.png\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/G\/Divider2-p-500.png 500w, https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/G\/Divider2-p-800.png 800w, https:\/\/d88af436618eb577b5e2-f01cec007b719b5f79502bffd63464ad.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\/sayuig\/newig\/coastwatersports\/G\/Divider2.png 940w\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-10\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"div-block top\">\n<h2 class=\"hh2 brown\">Don\u2019t forget the lower parts<\/h2>\n<div class=\"w-row\">\n<div class=\"column-8 w-col w-col-6\">\n<p class=\"main-text left black _2\">Compression shorts make absolute sense for anyone taking to the water.

We actually lose more heat through our tootsies and our hands than we do from our scalps. You will know that if you\u2019re hot in bed on a night that sticking your toes out of the blankets has a quick cooling effect. This is because of the nature of blood vessels in our feet and the relatively large surface area they make up.
