    Non-triathloner question:

    What advantages does a wetsuit provide over a regular swim suite other than warmth in cold water? Does it make you swim faster?

    It's more buoyant which can make you feel more comfortable if swimming is not your strong suit. Theoretically, it should also make you faster. I personally don't feel I get a huge benefit from the suit - other than being warmer.
