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.
I did the one-mile swim. I was in Wave 3. While standing in the start corral I noticed a guy in my heat who was wearing a center-mount snorkel on his head. They called our heat and we walked over the start pad. When I got to the water I saw another Wave 3 participant, already standing in the water, putting on scuba fins. This person also had a snorkel.
Are snorkels and fins really allowed in this swim?
Hi Jayhawk,
I saw that guy with the snorkel too. I was wondering if he was allowed to wear that. I did not see the fin guy. It was nice seeing you at the race.
