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.

We 1-mile swimmers all pulled out our caps and spent a few minutes trying to figure this out. See the attached photos.
Finally someone did. Her guess was that when the volunteers wrote the numbers on the caps, someone told them to "write the number on both sides." The caps must have been folded in half, so they did flip them over to write on the back side. Only they were still writing on the same side of the cap...
