Thanks.

Answer 1

i haven't myself but i hear it's quite tough if you are training then i dont have a doubt you will do fine, but remember to consult some professional help or guidance in case you feel you aren't getting the most of your workouts for triatholon suits try these:

some are quite pricey but to be honest it's one of the best brand in swimming and they also last a long time so they can be worn more than once

best of luck to you when you swim!
