Another wetsuit question

How much time do you need to get comfortable in a wetsuit? Have a swim coming up (66-67 degrees) that will now allow them. Don't wanna give up any potential advantages, but I've never swam in one and don't wanna screwup my stroke. I've got several people to borrow one from so that isn't a problem, a custom fit would be.

  • I don't think it took me that long to get use to swimming in it, but it did take me 3-5 times before I was able to put the suit on correctly. it's not easy pulling the suit up high enough over the legs, and up the arms over the shoulders. having a full body wetsuit sit right makes swimming in it much easier I suggest vasaline around the neck to prevent rub burns, over the shoulders to help slide the suit into position
