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.

Personally, I like to stay warm. I usually don an Aqua Skin WT80 top to go swimming in the height of summer outdoors and in my usual indoor heated pools anytime. Maybe if I learn to swim better and can knock out more distance without stopping I'll warm up.
I guess AquaSkin would be considered a wetsuit. It is part Lycra and part Lycra-Neoprene blend. www.aquasphereswim.com/.../aqua_skin_wt80.html
