When I come out of the pool and go home, I take out my suit to hand on and dry, and get ready to pull something else out, my wallet, and everything and they are all sopping wet! I always wring out my suits before I put em in but they still end up very very very wet. Anyone know how to avoid this?

The health club I belong to has a machine called something like a swimsuit extractor. It is similar in concept to machines that coin-op laundry places have.
The basic concept is you place your suit in the extractor cylinder and start the extractor. It spins around really quickly and extracts or wrings the water from your suit. It doesn't fully dry your suit but it gets rid of lots of excess water so it isn't sopping wet.
Then I place my suit in the little plastic bags the health club also has on hand and everything in my backpack stays dry.
If you don't have access to the extractor then make sure you bring along a big freezer bag, the ziplock type and use that. Some gym bags also have a separate compartment that is basically a plastic bag that you can use for a suit, which keeps the other sections of the bag dry.
So those are a couple options for ya.
