What's this?

Triathlon question.......


My 12 year old son has decided that triathlon is going to be his sport. So I signed him up for a sprint triathlon next weekend. It is venued at a lake, water temp estimated at 62 degrees. Could be a degree or two chillier. Full wetsuit or sleeveless? I’m thinking a 3mm sleeveless. Figured that the water isn’t that cold and it would be easier in and out getting to the bike transition and he would have more natural unrestricted arm movement in the water. He’s never worn a wetsuit before and was thinking this would be easiest for him. Thoughts?

  Short sleeve full (long legs) 65 I'd call spring suit (short arms and legs) -- JoseyWales 05/03/2021 09:07AM

  Sleeveless, a big stick of Glide, and swim in it beforehand -- Happy Dog 05/03/2021 05:58AM

  Sleeveless. Much easier to swim in. -- GreenvilleVT 05/02/2021 9:27PM
  I looked into used but sizing seems to be a real issue..... -- CrystalCoveHokie 05/02/2021 10:30PM
  I agree. 60ish is certainly chilly, but not frigid and he will be swimming -- turkeywinghokie 05/02/2021 9:09PM
