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 Swimmy! Thanks, I am really happy. I have had a stupid grin plastered on my face since Sunday afternoon :-) I was really worried that all the hard work I had done would not be enough, but it was and I am so ecstatic! Yes, it was very choppy! Thank goodness, though, the current wasn't nearly as bad as last year. Did you finish, though? I haven't looked at the results, but did you finish the swim, though you didn't do as well as you wanted to do? I will definitely be back next year! I am really hooked! Have a great week! Diana
