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 :)

  • Diana, Yes, I finished the 1 mile....48:53. I did better last year. will definitely do it next year again. I had lots of fun. Leonard, I am passing on Chestertown this year, but maybe next year I will give it a try. Good Luck! dvarner, Yes, A Maytag washer definitely! The bay did have a yummy taste of diesel fuel from the boats perhaps? That is what some people were saying after the race. Happy Swimming! Swimmy :)
