Do you wear your speedsuit over your tri-suit?

Can u swim in your trisuit? It doesn't float that well and isn't that fast I suppose...


Can you swim in a speedo? It provides no float... Of course you can ^^; Wetsuits are the fastest option because of buoyancy. Swim skins are second fastest because of the material (they provide no extra 'float') Tri-suits are acceptable as the material that covers your skin is "faster" than your skin.

Also, tri-suits companies like De Soto design the pad sewn into the tri-suits to provide some buoyancy during the swim. Their Riviera line also has covers on any pockets present to provide less drag in the water.

But as mentioned above, it is technically faster to just wear a swim skin/speedsuit over your trisuit if you can afford to.
