Looking for some help...
Been a competitive pool swimmer for many years, and going to start trying some open water racing. I'm not as fit as I was, but still probably about 60sec for a 100.
So I'm wanting a suit but from the research I've done so far, it seems all the entry-level suits may well have too much buoyancy for someone like me with a reasonable stroke and fairly strong kick.
Any suggestions on makes that are not so beginner-friendly, but cheap (sub-200)? Or will I do best hanging out on ebay and wait for a 2nd hander?
Cheers!

I've heard nothing but good reports on them. I've got a BS helix and I'm desparately trying to convince myself I DON'T need another wetsuit!
Can you bike and run ? Remind me not to enter any races with you
Was passing near Yeovil at the weekend so popped into Tri UK and had a bit a play in the endless pool; all sorted now with a Foor Quantum 2.4, fitted perfectly and felt lovely to swim in. Very comforting to really give a suit a go.
Thanks again!
