These materials look at three possible projects that relate to a wet suit used in open water swimming during a triathlon:
* Communications project - students gather information about the materials wetsuits are made from and explain what features make them suitable for athletes.
* Practical project - students investigate how well different materials insulate an athlete and how the materials chosen are suitable for a wet suit.
* Research project - research and advise about the use of a park lake by a swimming club.
