          After my swim I had a chat to a couple of swimmers. They are preparing for IM WAles. One of them had a new wetsuit on. It was very impressive. Only £375! As it is last years model...

            It has thinner neoprene in the arms than legs. So you stay flatter in the water. And there is extra shoulder/elbow flexibility.
