Just did a team triathlon 1K swim and was slower than my pool time. I think it screwed up my kick rythym and I had trouble with breathing. Maybe it was a bit too tight, but overall, I think I would have been better without.
I noticed the fastest swimmers had no wetsuits.
If you are only swimming and don't have to save the legs, do all agree that you should leave the wetsuit at home if the water temp is good?
I did alot of training in the pool for this event and I am really bummed that I wore it.
interesting responses.
It would be nice to do a hard comparison with and without. Trouble is the pool temperature is too high, so I would have to do time trials outside to compare.
I also wonder if the WS would help more on the longer swims over 1.5K, but be a disadvantage on the sprint distances.
I also think the WS would be good in very rough water to help stay on top.
I think if the water is warm enough and the distance is 1.5K or less, I will forget the WS. Then I can keep my 6 beat kick.
