PLEASE! Send help needed to find very large winter wet suit
Former Member
Hello. I am an open water swimmer in the Northwest and can't bear not swimming in the lake anymore. A couple weeks ago it was fine at 63, but it's getting colder, and in winter is about 48. Problem is I can't find a wetsuit; I'm short and heavy and don't see anything in my size. In womens' clothes I wear about a 20 or 22, i am 5 foot 3; and in bathing suits like Speedo can wear swimsuits in size 20 or 22 also. I'd like to swim in water as cold as 48 this winter. Any suggestions out there? I looked online; they have XXL men's but not women's it seems.
Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT buy a wetsuit online or from a catalog. It will be well worth the time and effort to travel to a city / store that sells wetsuits so you can try on as many different styles, types and sizes as you can in order to find the one that best fits your body.
If you purchase online, you'll be getting less than what your body deserves.
