Lake Michigan water Temp 69 Degrees.... It's going to be a cold one!

Here are a few reason's why having a wetsuit will help you in your next tri:
• They can improve swimming speed by 3 to 7 per cent, enough to give you a 50- to 100-metre edge over a suitless competitor in a 1500-metre swim.
• By improving buoyancy, wet suits let swimmers expend less energy to avoid sinking; they can stay in a horizontal position near the top of the water column without much trouble. That means that more effort can be expended on direct, forward propulsion...
• Warmth - The neoprene or rubber material traps a layer of water close to the skin that is warmed by core body temperature and delays hypothermia in water less than 80 degrees

*****Your wetsuit rental fee can go towards the purchase of a In Stock wetsuit*****
