wetsuits

Message posted by: Bryan S.

I am training for my first triathlon (Chicago) and will be doing the Olympic distance first time out. I have run many marathons and bike frequently but the swim will be my weakest part. Up until I started training, I was a poor swimmer (at best) but have started to improve.

My question concerns wetsuits. I understand they will cause me to be more buoyant in the water, but are there suits that are more buoyant than others? I think I will need the extra buoyancy in the water to get through/survive the swim. Any suggestions? Thanks.
