having to untie a tight wet knot in my swim suit
I don't know if this belongs here or in the "tricks of the trade" thread.
First thing I do with any swimsuit I get is join the two loose ends of the cord with a square knot (see attachment or see images.google.com/imgres ) thus creating a long continuous loop.
This link is animated and shows how to tie the square (or reef) knot:

Then tie the cord as you would a shoelace, pulling tight, (but without loose ends, it's still do-able). Try it, it's easy to do. Then whenever you want to untie the knot, just pull on any part of the cord, it will always become unknotted, never getting stuck.
