Do most people wear wet suit when swimming in lakes, rivers, oceans?

    chris, i hope to see you at lake placid again this year You yourself distinguished triathletes -- many of whom are very fast in the water -- bec and laurel make a habit of kicking my ass in the pool www.wassnertwins.com/.../home.html and just finished first and third in the columbia triathlon... congrats to themfrom swimmers over this issue, and Leonard talks about non-wetsuit-wearers as morally superior. I understand these statements are meant to be light-hearted but they still reflect this underlying, look-down-your-nose attitude. how do you think the swimming world would react to allowing noodles in distance freestyle events? hey, it might increase participation. i think you would see some real venom (as opposed to said light hearted jabs)
