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.

In my case about :10 or so per 100 improvement, with a sleeveless wetsuit. This is based on comparing my open water times with a wetsuit with times of other people without westuits, and comparing 1500/1650 pool times with the same people.
