Does anyone know of a 'reasonable' conversion factor for open water swims wearing versus not wearing a wetsuit? I know...lots of variables including individual capabilities.
Thanks,

two years ago the girl who one a 3km river race wore a regular pool tech suit and some swim expert said that her time could have been 2:30-3:00 minutes faster comparing to the guys times, who one in a westuit.
in a pool I swim about 6-7 secs faster per 100m. this morning I swam for the first time in a lake with my new wetsuit and we did around 2km in just over 30min. but we stopped alot to complain about the 54F water.
