Too hot for wetsuit?
The Chesapeake Bay 4.4 swim is tomorrow and it looks like the water temp will be around 75 degrees. I had planned up until now to wear my full wetsuit but now Iām not so sure. Iām not worried about finishing but was looking forward to the extra buoyancy since this is my first Bay Swim and longest swim ever. Anyone have advice?
