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.

For years I was thinking of doing this race however until they make separate and equal divisions, I will not.
ken, this is a very well run event, and lots of fun too. i recommend it highly even though the results are nonsense due to the lack of separate divisions..... who needs a silly ribbon anyway.
there are hundreds of people walking around in 90 degree heat in full rubber before the swim to make fun of too..... an added bonus.
but if that is not your cup of tea; by all means, come to NY! (we had a nice 5k at Coney Island in november last year.... 54 degrees!)
