One of the swimmers on my team who's doing La Jolla this year, asked me about suits, here's what I wrote:
Hi Tom,
You asked me about suit to wear in the La Jolla Rough water Swim. I read at their rules on acceptable attire
the key verbiage in their rules is:
“LJRWS acceptable attire includes one or 2 swim suits (Standard Porous type)”
The Speedo PRO is porous, so it should be legal.
The blue seventy Nero comp is NOT porous so it’s probably illegal.
I recommend the Speedo PRO full body, but the Speedo legs are great too
When I consider cost vs. suit speed, the Speedo PRO is probably the best value out there
Hope this helps you get the right suit & have a great swim.
btw I’ve written about tech suits at:

I was a "first-timer" this year and had a blast. Great event. I can't say enough good things about it, especially the professionalism of the lifeguards and in-water volunteers. They had a tough job this year and deserve a huge thank you.
