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 :)

  • I remember feeling a little sick after the race last year. Maybe I drank too much water. This year I felt great afterwards. I know other people who were sick. I will pass on that ginger tip. I may do it as a preventative measure next year. I am thinking the boat that put out the buoys went right where we swam. Others were talking about the taste of the water too. No....I don't think I could do 4.4. I will do the one again. I am a chicken.....Perhaps I will think about the 2 mile in Reston.... Happy Swimming! Swimmy:)
