Hi all - I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what to look for when buying a wetsuit. I'll be using it in triathlons this year. I would like to get...
I'd suggest going to a store that has several brands/makes of wetsuits. A swimming wetsuit has to fit you comfortably, esp. under the arms. I ended up getting...

I will swim with whoever. I can be back in the water next week. What is the temp of Natomas?                            Lake...
Suzy - kind of late notice - but I am working near Lake Natoma tommorow (thursday) and would be interested in a lunch break swim (around 1pm) If that works...
