The Air temp right now is 71 degrees. Would you recommend that I use a wetsuit? Please keep the following in mind: <br /> <p /> 1) I have never been swimming in a wetsuit. <br /> <p /> 2) I don't own a wetsuit and prefer not to purchase one.<br /> <p /> I could rent one however is that a good idea when I have never used one before? <br /> <p /> Thanks <img class="jive-emoticon" border="0" src="http://community.active.com/images/emoticons/blush.gif" alt=":8}" /> triathlon_training triathlon tri_training training wetsuits swim swimming open-water Thu, 17 Apr 2008 00:12:31 GMT Active Belle http://community.active.com/blogs/Belle_Wants_to_Get_Active/2008/04/16/the-wetsuit-dilemma 2008-04-17T00:12:31Z 7 months, 2 weeks ago 7 http://community.active.com/blogs/Belle_Wants_to_Get_Active/comment/the-wetsuit-dilemma http://community.active.com/blogs/Belle_Wants_to_Get_Active/feeds/comments?blogPostID=7875
