    Great video and thank for not making it 24 minutes. I clicked on it because I knew there would be no fluff.

    Not to mention the fact that for a weak swimmer like myself, the added bouyancy also decreases the need for kicking (at least is does for me), so I feel that I can sustain my pace for longer.

    Another interesting test would be comparing neoprene shorts v regular swimwear.
    As a novice swimmer I've found them to be a great help in terms of boosting confidence and getting the feel of a better position in the water. 😀

    I feel like I could watch you guys swim for hours. So smooth!

    Great video thanks. If you did the wetsuit swim first I would assume the gap would be slightly bigger.

    Great video 👍. Thank you 😊.
    Do you have an idea about swim suits like the Powerskin R-Evo+ Open water Arena? Is it faster or less?

    If you have an old full body tech suit, give it a try for comparison.

      I still have mine but it's even tighter and it didn't shrink. It would be interesting you could find a 50m salt water pool and get a time. That would quantify the advantage open water ocean swimmers have.

    I was thinking, hey, I'm not much slower than you guys, I'm also around 2 mins. Then I realized you're doing 200m not 100m 😀 OMG!!

    I swam with a wetsuit for a while in sub 65 degrees, but problem was that in cooler water, I like to start with some head-up breaststroke to get acclimated. Couldn't do that with a wetsuit. Then there was the fact that I felt so constricted in my wetsuit it seemed akin to swimming wearing a strait jacket (not that I would know what that's like lol). It kept me a bit warmer but aside from that, I do better without.

    Be interesting to see good swimmers vs crap swimmers. I'm a lot faster in a wetsuit, but the coach at our Tri club says he's one of the few people he knows who is slower.

      Also must take into account the time lost to remove it in a tri.

      Lots of things can like a crossover, lifting head to breathe, fatigue, poor posture in the water

    I imagine that incremental gains with a wetsuit for you are smaller in comparison to someone who is at 2:00/100m

      definitely, the worse your body position the more it will help you

      Varies but 3mm and 2mm then 1.5mm through shoulders

      @@elizabethsabit3883 : I used to swim with my surf wetsuit, It was perfect. Until I invested in a real swim wet suit. What a difference!! With my swimsuit, I really feel much stronger in the water. You will definitely win seconds per 100m with a real swimsuit. But it is in no way necessary. Just depends on you goal and budget....
