Hello, i'm new to Masters Swimming, and have a question.
I signed up for the Chesapeake Bay 4.4 Swim next June. I have swam all my life and played water polo in college. My first open water race was last summer, I did a two mile race to qualify for the Bay Swim. That race, however, was in warm water.
I need to get a wet suit for the Bay. Any suggestions as to brands? Fit? Full sleeves? I am on a budget, and this will likely be my only race for a while, so I don't need anything high end. This will also be my first wet suit purchase, so I'm sorta lost. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have a couple of wetsuits from Xterra I've used in triathlons. I highly recommend them, but mine are top of the line. If you buy one buy a sleeveless. You do not want anything more than that in water that warm.
Xterra is always having sales. They have great customer service and a great return policy. Just make sure you know how to put on a swim wetsuit without damaging it. They won't take it back if you damage it.
Here is there current sale. Good until 12/6

But remember, the best wetsuit is the one that fits you. Different wetsuit manufactures suits all fit differently.
