Does anyone know of a 'reasonable' conversion factor for open water swims wearing versus not wearing a wetsuit? I know...lots of variables including individual capabilities. Thanks, Tree

  • this year will be my 4th bay swim... the third year in a row that i got through on the lottery. its easy enough to get your name on the list, and if another event takes priority; they will have no problem filling the spot. Sure...but to reserve my spot in Eagleman, I would have to pay for that race well before the Bay swim entry deadline. This year I didn't enter Eagleman, gambling (incorrectly) that I would get in the Bay swim. I'll take the sure thing from now on. Eagleman is a lot of fun anyway.
