Hi,
I am thinking of investing in a wetsuit. Any wisdom out there? What style is the best...long, short, sleeves, no sleeves. Where is the best place to find one? Does wearing a wetsuit significantly improve your time?
Last year I did the 1 mile swim in the Chesapeake Bay. Most people had wetsuits. The water temperature was 72 degrees, and I was not cold at all even though I did not have a wetsuit.
Any thoughts?

If it is just for training purposes, I just take a piece of neoprene glue it together with neoprene glue and make it into a tube. Large enough to fit from my thighs to just under my arm pits and get my body into it. If I get too warm I fold it down. I used this when the ice broke in the river I used to train in.
We were not allowed to wear any thing like a wet suit in a race. They are considered to be floating devices.
