Wetsuit time conversion factor

Thanks. Hey Ruffwater-I'm putting 2+2 together and betting you are the same Rob Jones that nearly took it to the youngsters the last few years at GCBS. Way to go. I have made a committment to go without a wetsuit this year. I can't turn back. My coach would give me too much crap. I've worn one for the last 3 years and I hate it. Too hot, too much chaffing. I swam the GCBS 3 other times in the late 80's without one and figure its worth seeing where I am. No other real reason or attempt to make a political statement. That being said, the technical suits should be banned though. Moot point; its like trying to put wooden rackets back on the tennis court or real wood clubs into Tiger's golf bag. Water temp is approximately 61 right now depending on where you measure it. A group of us are swimming in the Severn River next week.(about 3 miles from the bridge). 6 weeks to go, keep training.
