Breaststroke in a pool with a wetsuit and leg weights?  Now there&amp;#39;s an event I think the Olympic committee needs to hear about.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: wetsuit flotation</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/269340?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Aug 2011 02:51:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:d3f48ba5-f14c-4a09-bab0-9e124d887fda</guid><dc:creator>Bobinator</dc:creator><description>I don&amp;#39;t think I could do breastroke in a tight wet-suit!

Sorry, the idea is to increase floatation, with *** stroke the legs come in &amp;amp; up - that only makes the m float more.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: wetsuit flotation</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/269268?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 27 Aug 2011 07:19:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:5d99bae6-3240-4af9-83e9-7c6b37006700</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>Troll Alert&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: wetsuit flotation</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/269193?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 27 Aug 2011 07:10:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:3ea00743-84f7-4b3d-9962-2d1b2d959457</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>I am swiming the *** stroke in a wetsuit.

if you are wearing a wetsuit and compensating for buoyancy with weights its not swimming; its scuba diving.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
