Open water swim (Page 2)

i bought a Neosport tank top wetsuit off the bay, best $120 bucks i ever spent, i could immediately tell the difference in swimming, and it came off my ankles super quick, and my normally sinking hips required minimal effort to keep afloat resulting in a much better swimming posture, and it flattened my tummy ;0). You could probably get away without one this weekend as i swim in the sound and once you acclimate yourself to the water it is ok, but the advantages are numerous over the cons, and i have no range of motion issue with my suit.
