Swim equipment (wetsuit, trisuit, swimskin, goggles), Yousuli Help

The model

The SwimEquipment record is intentionally simple. It tracks the swim gear an athlete owns at a per-item level, marks the primary one for race use, and lets you carry brand and model notes for race-day decisions.

Coach side: edit a swim equipment item at /coach/swim-equipment/<id>/edit/ or create at /coach/swim-equipment/new/.

Athlete side: /my-equipment/ shows the full swim inventory and lets you add items.

The 7 item types

Wetsuit: full sleeves, sleeveless, or short.
Trisuit: one-piece race suit.
Swimskin: non-buoyant overlay for wetsuit-illegal races.
Swimwear: training jammers, briefs, or one-pieces.
Goggles.
Cap.
Other: e.g. snorkel, paddles, pull buoy if you want them tracked.

Fields per item

Item type (one of the seven).
Brand (free text).
Model name (free text).
Size.
Notes (free text, e.g. "race wetsuit, run since 2024", "tinted lens for sunrise").
Primary flag: is this the one used for races by default?

What goes in notes

Treat notes as the field where the situational decisions live. Useful patterns:

For a wetsuit: water temperatures the athlete has raced in it (e.g. "raced 14-22C, comfortable").
For goggles: tint level, fog-free history, prescription if applicable.
For a trisuit: pad style, comfort over the long course, any chafing notes.

Wetsuit vs swimskin: when to log both

Athletes who race wetsuit-legal and wetsuit-illegal events need both. Log them as separate SwimEquipment rows and mark the wetsuit as primary (most events are wetsuit-legal); pick the swimskin per-race when conditions force it.

What the Hub does NOT track yet

Wetsuit temperature thresholds (when can you legally use it). These vary by race series; the Hub stays out of that call. The coach makes it per race.
Equipment retirement / lifespan tracking. There is no built-in field for "this wetsuit is past its prime". Use the Notes field if you want a heuristic reminder.
