Do most people wear wet suit when swimming in lakes, rivers, oceans?

    As to bites, depends on what animals. Any skin-covering suit will protect against jellyfish stings (and sunburn). So it does help in some way. And there is the stingray... yeah wet suit won't help in that case... Any adventures stories among the open water swimmers? Has anyone met anything unusual or threatening while swimming?
