Wet Suits - How to say it is for swimming

bcampesi
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'm not Bob, but this is a fairly consistent problem for me at low water temps. I do head-up BR or sidestroking or BK and get the face adjusted to colder temp gradually. Small dips rather than face plant. Hey, I need all the help I can get. Your advice is more than welcome :). I will be taking a different approach this coming Saturday. I'm going to try 10 to 15 strokes of FR followed by 5 BR at first, and will make adjustments until I get good and warmed up.
