I'm a pool swimmer who just started doing some open water swims this year along with some triathlons. I rented a wetsuit for one of my races this summer because the water was chilly. I swam pretty slow and I'm convinced the wetsuit was a big reason for my lousy swim. I felt like my lower body was floating/bobbing in the water and it prevented me from being able to rotate my body properly...I felt really bad in the water. I was wondering if perhps it was the brand of wetsuit I used (2XU). Does anyone know of a wetsuit that would keep me warm but not have the same negative effect on my stroke?

The brand is irrelevant. Buy the wetsuit that fits the best regardless of brand. A poorly fitting wetsuit is a killer. And when you try it on, test the fit in the water. A wetsuit fits differently on dry land compared to in water. One last thing: go sleeveless.
