Wetsuit Maximum swim velocity (m/sec) when wearing a wetsuit
NoWetsuit Maximum swim velocity (m/sec) when wearing a regular bathing suit

Details

A study tested whether wearing wetsuits influences swimming velocity. Twelve competitive swimmers and triathletes swam 1500m at maximum speed twice each; once wearing a wetsuit and once wearing a regular bathing suit. The order of the trials was randomized. Each time, the maximum velocity in meters/sec of the swimmer was recorded.
