I tried on wetsuits today and borrowed two ironman suits to take the pool. They feel great in the water. It’s like having little mini-life jackets on your legs. I couldn’t believe how bouyant I felt. I only did 2 lengths in the suits but I can see that the swimming ends up being all arms and not much kick.  I had to get a complete stranger to help me get the zipper on while putting on the suit at Watermania.  It was kind of funny and I had a nice conversation with the helpful lady.
