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.
If the water is dead calm, I may go with the fast skin. You don't object to that do you? or does it have to be a jammer?
I did notice in the non-wetsuit divisions of the Tiburon Mile even body suits are specifically forbidden. I believe the rule says the suit must not go below the knee or above the hips. By the way, the average water temp in San Francisco bay is in the low 60s.
I've never done that race, but I bet it would be fun. Lots of world class swimmers compete every year.
