So I have never started a thread before - but here is something I have not seen before.......
My FS Pro came today - and I was told to go slowly and put it on and that it could take up to 30 minutes...... is that for real??
I am at 20 minutes and I am stuck at the hips - for real!
It is the high neck body skin..... and if that zipper was about 2 inches longer I could probably get it over my hips and I wouldn't be standing here with my butt hanging out waiting for a reply.
If I don't stop laughing I may split something. I know the elite swimmers don't have real hips - but does anyone out there have any suggestions and How long does it take on average to get in one?
I'll miss all my events at nationals just trying to get the suit on!!!!

... Would swimming OW in lower Lake Michigan (55 - 75 deg, roughly) v. Alaska (brr!) v. Croatia v. Greece require different suits?
Many thanks!

You might not need one for Croatia or Greece, depending on when you go. I went to Croatia in October, and there were 4 out of the 12 of us who didn't feel the need. Oddly, it was the youngest and fittest who did need them. Check the photo gallery on the Swimtrek website for those two locations, of trips done at the approximate time you plan to go. It will give you an idea of what people felt they needed to wear at that time of year.
