Swim velocities using different types of swimsuits

Description

Data from an experiment comparing maximum swim velocities when swimmers are wearing a wetsuit versus a regular swimsuit. Paired measurements on the velocities on each of 12 participants. Data includes swimmer's biological sex and indication of whether the swimmer was a triathlete or just a swimmer. These data are also contained in the package Lock5Data

Usage
