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.

Do not use Vaseline. Petroleum based products can ruin a wetsuit. And avoid using Pam - especially if you plan on spraying it on yourself any where in the vicinity of other people. Use BodyGlide.
Without question, try the wetsuit before the race. A properly fitting wetsuit shouldn't take too long to get used to, but it definitely makes you feel different in the water. Don't let the first time you wear it be the morning of the race.
