With over 85% of triathlon competitors coming from a running, cycling or other sport background, blueseventy recognises that many athletes possess a denser leg make up due to well-exercised and established thigh muscles and dense calves. Heavier legs leave the majority of triathletes at a distinct disadvantage in the first discipline. Our goal is to give the world a faster swimming experience, so the Axis suit has been developed with the focus on centralizing buoyancy and balancing out the buoyancy zones.

Balanced buoyancy is about creating a wetsuit that puts your body in the best position to reduce drag and increase swim performance. Just like people need different running shoes designed to work with their biomechanics, at blueseventy we understand that no two swimmers are the same, and therefore require wetsuits that are designed to address their biomechanical individuality.

Positive buoyancy wetsuits have buoyancy zones that are focussed on increasing buoyancy in the lower body. With 85% of triathletes coming form a running or biking background, and having “heavier legs” positive buoyancy suits work by centralizing buoyancy; lifting the legs and putting the swimmer in a more streamlined position.
