I have an OLY come my up this weekend. It will not be wetsuit legal. I wear a 2 piece TYR tri suit. I don't mind the non wetsuit but I do like the fact that when I have my wetsuit on I can wear my tri suit and HRM underneath.

What are my options for wearing a swim skin over my tri suit? Should I be looking my for a swim skin or is it called something else?

Why not just wear the 2 piece TYR and HR monitor?

Tri suite is meant to swim in. HR monitors are water proof.

Just wear both of them, and don't worry about it.

The tri top seems to get a little water logged and loose during the swim and I feel like it slows me down. I know this probably just splitting hairs. It fits but for some reason I just like to be compressed a little tighter during the swim like when I wear a wetsuit. I was just looking for something to compress my torso like my wetsuit does.

A speed suit is not the same as a swim skin correct?

Then it does NOT fit or you need a better product.

Sounds like what you need is something like this:

I thought the same thing but there is no way I'm fitting in a small.

That suit is cool but is designed to be worn the whole race. Im just splitting hairs. I'm gonna just wear my kit for the swim.
