How much faster do you feel when you wear a wetsuit? 🩲

it's been a month and there's almost 1 million subscribers, and no one who wears a wetsuit to come here and comment? 🤦

I tried last week a 200m in a wetsuit. I've done it in 2:03 in a 25m pool. I usually do it in 2:21 and my fastest without it, was 2:13 swimsuit. The start was in the water.

@ElSantoLuchador 2 ай бұрын

Much faster. It's like swimming with a pull buoy. Not having much body fat makes the distinction even more pronounced. That said, I try and do most of my training without one in order to build proper technique.

Do a test with a elite swimmer and an average swimmer, with both top of the line wetsuit and a budget wetsuit. That’s the test we all want to see.

Also compare a good tech suit vs a wetsuit.

@samib6963 Жыл бұрын

For average swimmer difference will be greater ( from my own tests)at least double per 100 than James.

Would be interesting to see an Economy Wetsuit VS High End Wetsuit or maybe a Fullsuit vs Sleeveless. Nice Demostration GTN Team.. :)

My $ 1000 Orcaa suit is no faster than my $300 orca suit. Definitely more comfortable, but no faster.

High end wetsuits for open water swimmers have less buoyancy than those made for triathletes, which are specifically designed to give you the wetsuit edge. Different thicknesses over parts of the wetsuit. It has more to do with design than cost. A cheap Tyr cat 1 gives you more economy than a $500 Orca open water wetsuit. Purists vs triathletes.

I've been racing triathlons for 36 years and have used many different wetsuits, and also track my times accurately. In my experience a top-end wetsuit can make you 8-10 seconds/100 meters faster, regardless of distance. That applies for my swimming speed, so at the same effort I would swim 1:24/100 instead of 1:34/100 when doing a 1000 m, or a 1:12 instead of a 1:22 for a fast 100 m. Also it reduces my number of strokes / length from about 43 to 40. For a faster swimmer it means less. A tri suit is about 3 s/100m faster than swimming trunks.

I’ve always thought the difference to be greater than that for longer distances. May depend on the individual as well, and the scale for longer distances may not be linear as compared to a relative sprint. (Yes a 200 is just ever so slightly off a sprint for those in great shape)
