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 :)

Dont Forget a warm swim cap can keep you a lot warmer sans wet suit (Some like the bubble strap style are English Channel legal) as lots of body heat goes out through the head. SF Bay Ca swimmers are in 55 F water all the time. And many only wear a cap
