I've done all my swimming in a pool, but will be spending time at the Jersey shore. I'd like to do my daily swims in Barneget Bay, and am trying to find information on open water suits. I've been in the Speedo web site, but didn't find anything. My guess is there are different thicknesses based on the water temperature, but not sure. Any suggestions on where to go for information?
There is no such thing as an "open water suit." There are swimsuits and wetsuits. Wetsuits come in different thicknesses. It's probably not cold enough, and you probably won't be swimming long enough, that you would want a wetsuit.
Just wear your ordinary suit. If you think the water will be cold, add a latex or silicone swim cap if you don't usually wear one. For added warmth, try earplugs. I am a new convert. After earplugs, your next warm step is a neoprene cap under your latex swim cap.
