Hi all,
I have a quick question about wetsuits. I have my first Olympic
Triathlon in two weeks. I just bought a Gotcha Wetsuit at Costcos for
$30 bucks. I was wondering if I should return it because I just looked
online and saw that it is advertised as a wetsuit for surfing, kayaking,
etc. but I see no mention for swimming long lengths. I am totally new to
the open water swim world. It is made of 80% neoprene, 20% nylon. I
guess I am worried that it might absorb too much water and get too heavy.
I can't really try it out in the lake because I won't be able to return
it.
I could always just rent a good one for about $8.00 but thought it would
be nice to have a swim suit that I could use periodically between now and
then. Thank you all for your time and any help and suggestions will be
much appreciated!
Actually, one other question. I heard that chaffing is very likely to
occur with wetsuit use. What should be done about it?
