But realize that there are lots of triathlon suits that can be used throughout all three sports.  You would be looking specifically for a triathlon wetsuit.
 
There are lots of brands to choose from but you&amp;#39;ll also find lots on E-bay.  For freedom of motion, the sleeveless farmer john style that don&amp;#39;t go over your knee might be best.  Also pay close attention to the thickness.  If you just want a little help on bouyancy, then 2-3mm should be fine.  One example, if you want to do a Google search, is the Quintana Roo QuickJohn.
 
When fitting for these suits, you will want it to be fairly snug but not so tight as to restrict your breathing.  You just don&amp;#39;t want it to fill up with water that you have to carry.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
