The best wetsuits are
those that fit snugly into the athlete's body. This may sound easy yet
the differences are told by the unique body build the racer has. People
are often fooled by the impression that the wet suit does not fit
correctly when all the while, it has the proper fit saying "the suit is
too tight'. A wetsuit designed for triathlon is your best bet. A non-tri wetsuit will not provide any speed or help with actual swimming. Triathlon
wetsuits keep you warm and help you swim easier and faster. This is due
to the improved body position and buoyancy which reduces drag. The
wetsuit is also designed to slip easily through the water which also
reduces drag. Here are some benefits a triathlon wetsuit (wet suit) has : - The properties of a wetsuit help lift your body out of the water so you expend less energy. - Triathlon wetsuits are designed to produce less drag helping you to swim faster. - A wetsuit can provide warmth in cold water swimming. - A well designed triathlon wetsuit will help you through a transition faster than a diving or surfing wetsuit. - A buoyant wetsuit assists in better swimming form and technique for beginners.
