I plan on doing the 5K championships without a wetsuit, but I also plan on a non sanctioned 6 mile swim and some other team tri's this summer where I wetsuits are permitted.
I was wondering how much faster a 1000 time would be with a wetsuit. Anyone have good experience or numbers for this?
I may put it on and try a pool 1000 to see what the difference is, but I would like to avoid the test.
I would like to use the wetsuit if it will be faster.

i've heard that a wetsuit will give you a 10 percent drop.
i imagine the advantage is greater for those with a lower percentage of body fat, but personally, i won't wear one so its just what i've heard.
