My first tri is on 9/09. I have really not been swimming as I should...read into that I haven't at all. I CAN swim and it's a sprint tri so the swim isn't horribly long. I have a wetsuit but it isn't a swimming one. Part of me thought the water temperature would be fine so I would go without.

Here's the thing, I know a swimming wetsuit can make me more bouyant. I know people who have worn them and compared them to not wearing one and said there was a huge difference.

I'm not scared of swimming though I am sure I can use all the help I can get. Should I break down and get one? Is there a huge difference if the temperature isn't a factor?
