Okay, I sure got some first hand input on how a wetsuit can help a “swimmer”.
So, my wife swims real real real slowly!! Over 3 minutes per hundred yards. I borrowed a full wetsuit for her to try on, since the race we will be doing might be wetsuit legal.
Normally I will just pass her like she is standing still. But today, with the wetsuit on, she was going MUCH faster. She got to the end and was blown away by the difference.
She has terrible body position in the pool, meaning, her butt is way down in the water. But, with the suit on, as folks say, man did she good some great body
position all of a sudden.
So, we all know it, but I had never seen first hand the difference a wetsuit makes on a person I swim all the time with who is so slow without a wetsuit. I think she wants me to buy her one now!
