Wetsuit wisdom?

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? Swimmy :)

  • HI I got my wetsuit(full body, long sleeves) now, and I am looking forward to the Bay Swim next month. I was one of the few without a wetsuit last year. Diana, are you doing the 4.4 mile again this year? Good luck. I would love to meet other swimmers at the Bay. Anyone else going to be there? Thanks again for all the advice! Swimmy :) Anyone doing the Reston lake swim? I may do that one too.
