I'm doing the Chesapeake Bay swim on Sunday. I have no idea what to expect. I'm planning to not use a wetsuit but I noticed most swimmers had wetsuits last year...not sure why. If anyone has done this swim I'd appreaciate any tips/advice. This will be my longest OW swim to date.
Thanks for the responses. I read the postings from 2009. They are very helpful and provided me with some insight on the whole wetsuit vs. non-wetsuit issue. I tend to over-heat in wetsuits and since the water is currently in the mid-70s I think I would cook myself in a wetsuit. It is too bad they don't seperate the divisions...that seems a little unfair.
