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?

Those rear end accidents can be career enders. I was put out of action for a year. I was a passenger and we were hit from behind then smashed into the car infront. The dash of the car I was in was completely bent out of shape from my knees and of course my knees were both injured to the point that ever after that accident I had washer woman's knees, not a pretty sight. The car a total wreck. Arms, shoulders and neck were very sore for a couple of years after that. However I only stopped racing for one year and was back on the pro marathon cicuit the next year. I was hurting but I needed the prize money more and was still able to win a couple of races and place in the money in them all.
