[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A wetsuit will actually make him faster because it makes him float level in the water. Triathletes and other open-water swimmers are faster in wetsuits than without. But using one to learn is actually a problem because it will hide flaws in his stroke if his hips and legs would otherwise sink but are kept floating solely due to the buoyancy of the wetsuit.[/quote] Triathlete here and I agree. I'm perplexed why OP's sister said it would "drag him down." In addition, I think a wetsuit would be overkill in an indoor pool and he would get way too hot. I'm surprised the coach said ok to a wet suit. I'm wondering if OP means a rash guard shirt--and not a wet suit?[/quote] Why would anyone wear a rashguard in an indoor pool?[/quote] To keep warm, which is what the OP is seeking for her son.[/quote]
