By the I have to laugh at your posts regarding training in the cool Canadian winter/spring weather. I'm training in a challenging climate as well. The high last Saturday here in Saudi was 40 degrees C and it only gets hotter. Enjoy that cool weather. snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782624859380101816.post-82279715441821435632014-04-28T02:20:05.243+08:002014-04-28T02:20:05.243+08:00Hey Steve, with the tropical climate, it would def...Hey Steve, with the tropical climate, it would definitely be a non wetsuit swim. If you have swimskin already, by all means do use it. I haven't used one before but I just got myself one, so I'm looking forward to racing with it.<br /><br />There can be sea lice in the water at times. Their stings are not too bad but can be annoying and depending on if you have any allergies, they can affect your swim significantly. A swimskin may provide more protection, but there are still areas on your body which are not covered. I recommend some sunscreen and/or vaseline to give more protection for the non covered areas.Kevin Siahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02884272250626405342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782624859380101816.post-30587610805365020302014-04-28T02:06:52.004+08:002014-04-28T02:06:52.004+08:00Kevin, not sure how familiar you are with the IM M...Kevin, not sure how familiar you are with the IM Malaysia swim course, but just curious if you'd recommend a swim skin for the event?
