I'm doing the Alcatraz 1.5 mile swim in August for the first time. I'm a 140 lb. pretty lean female. Does anyone have any gear recommendations for me? For example, wetsuit styles/ thicknesses? Favorite open water goggles (I use swedish goggles in the pool)? Anything else that will make this easy?
FYI, I'm an experienced open water swimmer. I just haven't done it in the Bay before with such currents and cold. (I've never swam in a wetsuit before; usually I just grit it out.)
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Rebecca
