Wookie, Wookie, Wookie. I know they float they do not need to be tested. No study needed. Divers who wear wet suits to dive need lead weights to help them go underwater. My old wet suit was a 5/8th inch thick neoprene. I had to work hard to get underwater.
The question was not whether or not wetsuits float. Instead it was whether or not the new swimsuits float.
A wetsuit is made a neoprene closed cell foam. It is designed to trap air for temperature insulation. It will also float in varying degrees depending on the thickness of the neoprene.
The new suits are typically made of lycra-like material coated with a rubber-like film. The coating is not closed cell foam.
