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?

Hi Leonard! I will be there! I am hoping the weather will cooperate - they are calling for scattered thunderstorms - yikes! I will look for you. So we have to bring our own caps then? That's not a problem.
Hi Swimmy! I am glad you made it - Congrats! It was really choppy out there, but it was a lot of fun. I took gingerall tablets the night before and the day of the race, so I had no problem at all with seasickness. I recommend them highly if you are prone to that. And I really could have done without the diesel flavoring - yuck! I only really noticed it toward the end, so it must have been really bad for you 1-mile folks. I don't think it was that bad for us until the end. So are you going to train for the 4.4 swim next year? You can do it! Start training now, and you'll be ready!
Have a great day!
