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

    Do what you need to do to participate and be safe and enjoy the event. If that means you wear a wetsuit, fine. If the race allows wetsuits and someone not wearing one gets bumped from awards, tough - the rules were clear going in. If the race doesn't allow wetsuits, but you wear one and don't qualify for an award, again, tough and for the same reason. The wetsuit people can wallow in their awards and the non-wetsuit people (me) can wallow in their moral superiority. A win-win. -LBJ
