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?

Try looking at the www.blueseventy.com website. blueseventy - and their competitors - have been focusing on open water for some time now.
We took note of the type of swimsuits that the world's best open water swimmers wore at the 2009 World Swimming Championships that were held in the Mediterranean Sea off the western coast of Italy. Not only do these swimmers' livelihoods depend on their performances in the open water, but also they swim dozens of open water races every year all around the world in all kinds of conditions, so we figure that their choice of swimsuits was important to note.
The most popular swimsuits were the blueseventy types (www.10kswimmer.com/.../swimsuit-competition-at-world.html).
In addition, there are other manufacturers like TYR that make swimsuits with certain advantages for open water swimmers. See the gel pack pounch in the TYR swimsuit here: www.10kswimmer.com/.../gel-packs-or-drinks-what-to-take.html.
