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 second the recommendation for Body Glide (http://www.bodyglide.com). Use it generously around your neck for chafing. It's critical, else you're going to have a very raw & red neck after the swim. You can also use it around your wrists and ankles to help the process of getting it on.
