Subject: RE: Wetsuit on Florida Originally posted by DontoFL won't be wetsuit legal for any race until Oct/Nov/Dec time frame depending on where the event is in FL. If it is WS legal a sleeveless would be fine. Salt water and a wetsuit is best of both worlds. Speed depends on how good a swimmer you already are. If in the 1:45-2:00 range you'll see more than faster swimmers. If you do early races you may get wet suit legal too, especially the further north you go. That said, I'm in my 5th year of triathlons and I've worn a wetsuit 3 times, earliest race was April; latest November. I didn't need to wear one any of those times and the race director probably had to work to make the race wet suit legal. Each time I was in a sleeveless suit. I don't know that I saw much of a time savings, but then again I'm not the speediest swimmer anyway! |
