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?

Hi Prune - I will be at the June 30 event in Lake Andrea. It is my first open water and I'm hoping to adopt this as a new hobby.
I did get some encouagement this morning from a tri-athlete at the pool that by early July Lake Andrea is generally pretty warm (75-80 degrees) so end of June we should be okay without a wet suit or fastskin.
