Ok so gearing up for Galveston I have two wet suit's, one sleeveless and one sleeved. I have swam in both multiple times but have a couple questions for the Slowtwich brain trust.
While wearing my Long sleeved suit last year at Galveston I felt extremely restricted. Restricted to the point that I felt like my suit was fighting against my arms during each stroke. I put this suit on last night and it felt as if I had to force my arms all the way down. I have not raced in this or swam in it since, I have wet it to keep stretch but that's all.
The sleeveless suit that I have is not near as restrictive with a little excess in the waist and has much more freedom of mobility than the sleeved. It also however allows more water into the suit. I have never raced in this suit but have swam several times in a pool in it.
So in hopes of not getting to many smart a#% answers which is my better suit? I am not a fast swimmer (hoping for 45min) so time on the swim is not a huge concern. My concern is lack of mobility versus to much water getting in the suit. Thoughts?
