Salt. Wetsuits. Friction. (Fix this before your next swim)
There’s a moment before every open water swim.
You check your goggles.
Adjust your cap.
Zip the wetsuit.
And ignore the one thing that will matter most 20 minutes later:
Friction.
Not at the start.
Not when the water feels cold.
But later — when salt, seams, and repetition start to add up.
We’ve been testing Run Slick in real conditions — not pools.
Open water. Distance. Cold. Salt.
Here’s what came back:
“One paddle test so far at 7 miles, no rash… eliminated the friction.”
— Ryan, kayaker (California)
“I was surprised given the thin consistency… I’m used to using paste… your product works great.”
And from an early-season swim in Yonah Lake:
“No hot spots. Easy on and easy off… It’s part of my open water swim kit going forward.”
— Maury
That last line matters.
Because open water isn’t forgiving.
Wetsuit seams move thousands of times
Salt dries and tightens your skin
You can’t stop mid-swim
If friction starts — you’re finishing with it.
Run Slick was built for that moment.
Not thick.
Not greasy.
Not something you feel.
Just something that stays where you put it — and keeps you moving forward.
Where to use it before your next swim:
Neck (front + back)
Underarms
Inner thighs
Chest
Anywhere your wetsuit touches repeatedly
Open water is unpredictable.
Your skin shouldn’t be.
👉 If it rubs, Run Slick on it™
