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.

:confused:
your never going to swim as fast in a tri as in the pool...........there are no lane lines in open water, lines on the bottom of the lake or ocean, and no walls to do your streamline flip turns. swimmers that kill me in the pool, i eat for lunch in tri's with a wetsuit because they are all such wussies without their controlled environment.
