Tried my new wetsuit out at the Y. Water temp around 80. Works very well, but too
warm to do much of a workout. Question: What water temp would be the line for wetsuit
or no wetsuit? Is there a temp set by the event?
I take geog's point in bumping the old threads to mean: It has happened before, and it will happen again. So it has, and so it will.
i came across those threads by chance when looking to see how this thread stood in terms of its number of posts (to sort the OWS forum by post-count, click on the header of the 'replies' column). i bumped them with half a thought that posters in this thread would be interested in the others.
what does the volume of those threads indicate? especially in light that this is an Open Water Swimming Forum, albeit on a pool-swimmers website? i think the answer is that the world wide surge of interest is not in open water swimming (unqualified usage), but in wetsuit swimming ("open water" justifiably left implicit, permanently , unless there is a wetsuit pool swimming culture that i'm unaware of).
or maybe it indicates something else. there is: The Righteous Mind: why good people are divided by politics and religion 2012, by Jonathan Haidt.
