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.

Many swimmers may never finish a swim if they did not wear a wet suit. Depending on ability it could be up to a 30% or more faster. These things make some bad swimmers into pretty good swimmers.
They should be barred from any race.
