Yes, it is normal to wear a wetsuit over a trisuit while swimming in a triathlon. With the wetsuit, you want to be able to keep bouyant and maximize your swimming ability to gain time and with the trisuit underneath, you gain more time in transition 1 since you are completely dressed for the rest of the race.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.
