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'm a non wetsuit swimmer but looked at these briefly for neutral bouyancy training in very cold water - I decided to stay in the pool 'til it warmed up instead. But for those with spare cash custom made suits would sure be a luxury.

The suits are made in Cornwall, UK. Only catch - no trying on but given they are made to measure can't see that would be so bad.
