Txomin Dachary and the Zeal Thermal

Some people don’t let their goals define them, but rather the way in which they go about achieving them. Txomin Dachary is one of these people. A swimmer since he was a child, lifeguard, volunteer firefighter and sea lover, he has silently carved out an identity based on consistency, discipline and an intimate relationship with the water.

Behind the hours spent and miles swum, Txomin is driven by a personal quest: to discover how far he can push his body when his mind is in a state of calm, and what happens when he is unapologetically exposed to the elements. He finds a space for expression in the water, where effort is honest and he feels a connection with something larger than himself.

This documentary shares a way of being in the world, from the preparation, equipment and responsibility involved, to respect for the environment and the motivation that takes over when a challenge is meaningful.

Swimming in cold water isn’t just a matter of resistance, equipment isn’t dispensable and preparation turns into a ritual. The Zeal Thermal wetsuit is what allows you to spend long hours in the water without undermining your technique or confidence. Designed to provide the best thermal insulation in our range, the suit combines Thermal X2 inner lining, which retains body heat, with batwing technology, including a second layer in the neck area, and a functional zip that prevents cold water from entering the suit. The thick panels offer a high level of buoyancy without limiting your flexibility, thanks to the use of Yamamoto 40+ technology, which provides maximum elasticity and gives you total freedom of movement in cold water. Besides the wetsuit, accessories including a neoprene hood, gloves and neoprene socks are invaluable allies when the water reaches very low temperatures, allowing you to enjoy longer sessions in the water while protecting the parts of your body most vulnerable to the cold.
