A bicycle makes travel on roads much faster and easier. Skis have done the same for us on snow.
What has been done to make open water faster? Do they have races that allow any and every non-motorized swim aid combination: wet suit, fins, hand paddles, snorkel, and whatever else can be invented?
Would poor swimmers do over three miles an hour in a swim aided race? Would great swimmers do six miles or more in an hour?
Like cycling on the roads, it might be pretty cool to swim in the open water at those speeds. Is this being done anywhere and what are the results like?
Indoor Triathlete - I thought I was right, until I realized I was wrong.
