Hi all have just entered south coast sprint tri for my first race in august.
It says on the info that a wetsuit is not compulsary for the shorter 750m Sea swim so ..
Wetsuit or not to wetsuit that is the question?????
Being a newbie i would welcome the extra buoyancy of a suit but not having one is one less thing to worry about any and all suggestions welcomed
cheers in advance all......[:D]

With a wetsuit in the sea you're going to be warmer, safer and faster ... this should easily offset any time lost in transition getting it off
As mikescottt said the wetsuit will also make you faster, for me the difference is significant. If you are a better swimmer than me you may not get as much benefit, it may be worth trying a few sessions with/without the wetsuit to see the difference it makes for you.
