Working on Aquaman in 2017 meant that Justin Raleigh had become familiar with the challenges of filming in the water. Swamp Thing presented those same difficulties and affected how the suit was going to be designed and built. Justin and his team devised an incredibly unique way to make a foam suit that didn't absorb water like a sponge. He explained: "the entire suit is actually cored, and it has perforated reticulated material inside. So only the foam surface acts like a sponge. The rest of it actually wicks water so it drains rapidly. The entire suit is also treated like a prosthetic appliance. Many components are entirely separated and broken up so you can deal with the shrinkage aspects of it to give better function." Raleigh and his team planned and accounted for a new set of appliances each day as well as six hero suits, to use throughout the series shoot. "We had 60 sets of appliances between Derek and his stunt double. Derek had three main hero suits, and the stunt double had three suits and facial prosthetics custom made for him " Fractured FX also built four waist down water suits that could better withstand being fully submerged on set. Raleigh stated "it was a necessity to have extra suits because it would take nearly 24 hours to completely dry".
