Cheers guys.
It's a rolling swim start so I can position myself with similar swimmers and avoid the scrum. The problem is I'm incredibly slow and inefficient in a pool without the buoyancy of a wetsuit (I think my huge quads make me a leg-sinker! :D). In a wetsuit, in open water I'm quicker due to the buoyancy correcting my body position but then my arms ache! This happens in both of my wetsuits.
Maybe I need to pull the sleeves up more to give my shoulders some slack?
