Subject: wetsuit in fresh water vs no wetsuit in salt water I'm trying to decide which IM to try to get into/plan for next year, I'm leaning towards IMFL. Around here all I have is fresh water and it's always wetsuit temperatures. I know you're more buoyant in salt water compared to fresh water. I figure you're less buoyant in salt water without a wet suit than you are in fresh water with one. But how big of a difference is there? figure it'll be hard to explain the difference, so perhaps people can try to give values to the buoyancy they feel.... maybe on a 0-100 scale. 0 = no wetsuit in fresh water, 100 = wetsuit in salt water. what would fresh water with a wet suit be.... 70? Salt water without a wet suit... 40? |
