[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]A wetsuit will actually make him faster because it makes him float level in the water. [/b] 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] A wetsuit is a stupid idea for a preteam swimmer. It's a cheat and keeps him from learning better stroke technique. [/quote] Well if the alternative is being too cold to actively learn anything, wetsuit is not that a bad idea. [/quote]
