A great addition to the equipment of any serious triathlete is a wetsuit. A specific Triathlon Wetsuit will offer you greater warmth on an outdoor swimming leg, as well as providing a sleek bodyshape in the water.
Triathlon wetsuits are made by many manufacturers and range in price up to hundreds of pounds. It is important to check two things when choosing your triathlon wetsuit. In must offer unresticted movement to make swimming more easy, and it must be a snug fit. Unfortunately, few shops will allow you to swim in a suit to test it, so speak to other triathletes and get their feedback, as well as trying on a good selection of triathlon wetsuits in the shop before you buy one.
