Wetsuit wisdom?

Swimmy
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 can never find a place to swim up there, because I don't have a Y membership. Most of the places seem to be YMCAs there. If anyone knows of a place to swim, let me know. Swimmy :) Hi Swimmy! Here's a site that give some info on workouts that don't require membership: www.bee.net/.../ValleyForgeMasters.htm www.bee.net/.../VFMWorkoutSchedule.htm You pay $6 if you're not a member, $4 if you are. I've never been to any of their workouts...usu. running Sun. a.m. and my distance so far might not be enough to stay with them. But sometime I'm thinking I'll give one of their workouts a try--probably when they're at Villanova--easier for me to get there... also after the Philly Marathon... training for that and many of my long runs are going to be on Sun. a.m.
