Open Water swimming

Hey there,

I am training for some OWS's but don't want to wear a rashie as they're a bit tight around my neck. I'm trying to avoid getting stung by stingers-when they're around-but wonder if there are any other good prevention methods?

Would Zinc keep the goobers away? I know vaseline & sunscreen aren't a good mix...

What options are out there???

There's some stuff called Safe Sea but they don't seem to ship outside of North America. There must be something similar where you are.

Have you used the safe sea stuff???

No.
