Wet Suits - How to say it is for swimming

Hi all, I was looking at some wetsuits out there, and I am wondering how I can say if they are good for swimming or if they are more for diving/surf/etc...For example, I have seen the following, and I am not sure if any of these will be good for OW swimming: www.swimoutlet.com/.../14109.htm www.swimoutlet.com/.../11895.htm www.swimoutlet.com/.../19378.htm www.swimoutlet.com/.../19357.htm www.swimoutlet.com/.../12257.htm www.swimoutlet.com/.../12258.htm Maybe now a days all wet suits are made for any of these aquatic sports including swimming? If you have any recommendations that will be great. I do not want to spend a lot of money on this. Thanks and regards Bernardo

    I own both a full suit (Vendetta) and a sleeveless (Vector Pro X2) that I wear for the triathlons I compete in (I can't bear to give up the speed advantage in the races). They are both great. The Vendetta is very flexible in the upper body and I only bought the sleeveless for warmer water triathlons. They only sell online direct to the customer. I've had good experiences with their customer service. Look for sales. They have them often and I bought both of my suits for 50% off http://www.xterrawetsuits.com/ I also believe that if people wearing wetsuits in OW races will bring more people into the sport then all the better. They just have to have a separate division for them.
