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, Sorry your swim did not go that well. They should not have made you get out. That was wrong. I think everyone should be able to finish even if they are not really fast. I don't think my wetsuit helps me go faster. I think I will only use it when the water is really cold like at the Reston swim. I probably did not need it for the Bay swim. I will think about the Sunfest. Good luck training for Bonaire. I was looking at that website. It looks like you will have so much fun! Swimmy :)
