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.

Congratulations to everyone who did the GCBS, especially my very fast husband, Rob. I'm thinking that my being nine minutes slower than the last time I did it three years ago isn't too shabby. (Both non-wetsuit.)
This was the first time in foru crossings that I stopped and took a gel (at mile 3 food boat)- and it was worth it, I think. The people on the boat were nice enough to take my gel wrapper so I didn't have to litter the Bay. That made my day.
Tough day, sad day, but as always, also an amazing day.
