  1. With an indoor pool swim, does one swim in a tri-suit or put on after
    the swim? I imagine the former, but haven't swum in a suit. Are they
    comfortable (and fast) to swim in?

    How fast they are depends on you, but my tri-shorts are as
    cofortable--and I guess as fast--as a pair of jammers.

  3. You need to experiment for yourself. Do a couple 400's in your regular suit
    and a few in your trisuit. Compare and go with the fastest.
    The purpose of the tri suit is to reduce time in transition. If you put it
    on after the swim you have defeated that purpose. My bet is that you will
    be faster in a properly made and fit tri suit.
