Hi Lucy, Sorry missed this comp, but the result would be amazing. Love watching your videos and inspiration that you have given with swimming. I am trying to develop my front crawl as a 59 year old man and just completed my first km, but with fins and a snorkle. Loved your dogs and little pickle. Kind Regards. Mike
Amazing work in Singapore as always, Lucy! You continue to be an inspiration.

Swimskin: 5:38

Wow, this would be such a cool contest to win! Should I be lucky enough to come out as a winner I would love to get the wetsuit signed if at all possible. Love what your doing and how you share this with us! Keep going strong!
Swimskin - 5:37;85
Wetsuit - 5:24;04
My guesses would be:
Swimskin: 5:35.7
Wetsuit: 5:29.4
Great to see you're back at it, and massive respect for the race in Singapore. Not fully fit and still super fast 💪
Another great video, looking forward to seeing the results!
Swimskin: 5:39:31
Wetsuit: 5:21:21
So excited to see the results 😊
Here are my guesses:
Swimsuit: 5:16:30
Wetsuit 5:05:30
Excellent work in there pool 🏊♀️ always a pure joy watching you swim, looks effortlessly but we all know how much hard work there’s being put behind it!! Just awesome and great job done at the PTO Singapore 🇸🇬!!
Guessed swim pace (and I just wished to be much closer to a 1:10 only for one time 100m 😬🤞:
Swim skin: 5:42
Roka wetsuit: 5:18
Love the idea of this challenge! Can’t wait to see the results.
My guess:
Swimskin: 5:31.16
Wetsuit: 5:12.87
Wetsuit 5:23:45
Swimskin 5:38:23
It will be good to see the actual exact differences but I think it’s scientifically proven that wetsuits are faster but I annoyingly remembered that after a race in which my swim time was shockingly slow when I decided I’d go non wetsuit as the lake was pleasantly warm.
Also congrats on being such a champ and inspiration to so many!
Hi Lucy, amazing watching you in the PTO especially after another nasty injury.
