It was very informative, thank you. Can you suggest exercises before and after swim for long distance swim preparation and during the event.

Thank you- that is a very complex question, i will make some videos on some suggested things to do before a bug swim, afterwards its rest! during the event you are swimming so unless it is a multi day event there won't be a chance to do exercises!

Hello and thank you for your videos! Could you please tell me what you’re using to cover your face? Is it some sort of vaseline? cream? thank you!

Loved it! I have a question, it has nothing to do with nutrition, but what do you do to protect your lips during such a long time in salty waters?

Thanks so much for sharing this! Is there a reason you wouldn’t just wear a light wetsuit?

Hello Sarah Quick question, when you swim for too long in salt water you will feel something different on your tongue right? Can tear your tongue if you stay too long so any advice?

There is little you can really do to protect your mouth from too much salt water. However acclimatization works the best. Mouth wash helps temporarily

30 seconds to max 2minutes!

First and foremost - Great swim! I have to disagree with something, however; I do not think that layer of fat under the skin helps with keeping someone warm when it comes to swimming, let me explain. Fat can store temperature, which can help mitigate temperature changes, for instance its +40C outside fat will collect heat from outside or just a body temperature which is around +36C, and person starts swimming in 20C water, it will take longer for body to cool down inside the water due to thermal mass that fat stored just before getting into water (like any other material can do), I would assume it will take tens of minutes for water to work out that temperature stored in fat and since there is no walkout of the water, so no chance for fat to collect temperature, presumably outside is warmer than water. One could argue its harder to make a movement with extra fat which will result in producing more heat, but then I do not think of any benefits here, may as well just make more strokes. Other points like buoyancy and extra energy of course can be beneficial on such an event!

Thank you! Yes all valid points ou make and I agree, there is a fine balance between extra fat and weight and power to body ratio, having the extra fat does allow for it to be used as a reserve in longer and staged swims too. The warmth is debatable le but if you look at most cold water swimmers, they are larger tba yor warm water and pool swimmers. But you are right in that it is debatable in weather it keeps you warm
