Not all wetsuits are created equal; not all are as intelligently researched and developed as Huub wetsuits. Team Huub boasts more than 40 years' experience in endurance sports and has put that knowledge to good use. Named after scientist Huub Toussaint, the Huub wetsuit range has been developed by Huub together with Swim Smooth's Adam Young and Paul Newsome and wetsuit guru Dean Jackson. Team Huub aims to create better products using research, science and reality and the result is a wetsuit range that caters to all swim styles and abilities. Emma-Kate is excited to be racing in Huub's female-specific Aura suit this season. As a swimmer with a strong, propulsive kick, this suit is ideal for her style of swimming - it offers great buoyancy without lifting the body too high out of the water.
