swim in this?

[islandgirl]

I am doing my first tri and soon and trying to figure out what to wear. I am looking at the Sugoi products. Do you swim in the longer cut tops like the Fuel Tank Top?

Thanks!

Will you need to wear a wetsuit?

Could you please post a link to a picture of what you are asking about?

I personally race in tri shorts (tight, spandex-like, like biking shorts), and a tri top that goes down to my waist. I swim in it just fine. It takes a little getting use to (the extra material on you), but make sure you buy one that is tight, before it gets wet.

I won't be wearing a wet suit this time. Thanks so much for your input. Everyone is so helpful!

Oh, I totally swim in a top like that. It covers you up and once you get use to it, you don't even notice the extra material.

Just make sure you get one that fits, versus being loose.
