Open water accessories

When you swim out into the waves, your safety and visibility are absolutely the most important. The open sea can be unpredictable, and without the right open water accessories you quickly risk being overlooked by boats, kayaks and surfers. That is why a good and secure swim always starts with the right equipment.

You create the necessary visibility and reassurance with smart additions such as powerful LED lights and safety whistles that let you attract attention if you need help. At Watery we know the importance of reliable gear, and that is why we offer one of Ireland's absolute largest selections of swim buoys and sea bags. They not only give you buoyancy, but also function as your clearest signal in the water. Whether you need chafe cream, a waterproof phone holder or other essential open water swimming equipment, we cover your needs so you can calmly focus on your strokes.

How to achieve maximum comfort and protect your equipment

When you swim in open water, the good experience is not only about the swim in the waves. It is equally about how you prepare and how you handle your open water accessories both before and after the swim. Without the right focus on comfort, discomfort and damaged gear can quickly dampen the joy. Fortunately, with a few experience-based solutions you can make both changing and storage much easier, extending the life of your equipment.

• Avoid painful chafing: Saltwater and a tight wetsuit can quickly cause friction against the skin. By applying a generous layer of anti-chafe cream to exposed areas such as the neck, armpits, and ankles, you prevent chafing and ensure a highly comfortable swim from start to finish.
• Protect the neoprene when changing: Asphalt, stones, and sharp sand are tough on your wetsuit when you're pulling it on and off. With a practical changing mat or a changing bucket, you create a clean and soft surface that effectively protects the delicate neoprene from tears and damage.
• Keep your valuables completely dry: Reliable storage is an absolute must at the beach. Use spacious waterproof backpacks or dry bags to store your dry clothes and towel. At the same time, you can take good care of your phone and car keys with a waterproof phone holder or a swim buoy, allowing you to carry your essential small items with peace of mind.
