drying out your suit

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?

    Don't wring your suit. It'll wear out much faster. Some places have a suit spinner as mentioned earlier. My pool has that, but I don't mess with it. I just wrap my suit in my towel and put it in my gym bag. At most, the outer surface of the towel wad gets damp by the time I get home, but I don't keep anything in my bag that I don't mind getting damp. Maybe you just need to reorganize how you carry stuff. If you must keep your wallet in the same container as your wet suit, then consider wrapping it in your towel first. (If you don't bring a towel because your pool provides them, well may you just need to take a towel anyway specifically for that purpose!) You could also take a large zip-lock bag, or even just a plastic supermarket bag to put the suit/towel-wad into. Maybe I'm missing something, but this doesn't seem like a problem you can't easily overcome.
