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?

I am a rookie swimmer and have worn a wetsuit for my bay bridge crossings. Three attempts and two succesful crossings. Eventually I will go with out one but every attempt has been tough.
For some people it is tough to do it with a wetsuit while for others the the wet suit gets in the way.
Remember too that for some people a swim like that is an epic event in their lives.
