I'll be doing the Alcatraz Invitational on September 21, 2008. Although I've been swimming in the bay this will be my first crossing. I'm in the non-wetsuit division. My question - are neoprene caps (Barracuda, Blue Seventy, etc.) legal in the non-wetsuit division?
Any other tips for a first-timer?
Will a neoprene cap be needed (it's a pretty short race)?

I wear a white long sleeved rash guard shirt when I swim. Last night @ 7 I swam around the Oceanside Pier, twice,..at shark feeding time. The sunset was spectacular, water 70 degrees and just enough chop to make it FUN. I love the ride in,..feeling the swells and the acceleration you get as the waves take you in. Life is Grand! Swimming in a pool isn`t.
