Now I have no excuse not to get in some open water swim practice!

Pretty....don't pee in it........

Just kidding....

[colby]

Way cool! When do you get to hold it in your hands?

[Tri Girl]

Ooooooo- it's so pretty.... :)

Very pretty! Now, are you sure it fits? Have you tried it on before? Also, keep in mind that things also change when it hits the water.

I know for me... I was very excited when I ordered my FIRST wetsuit. It came, I tried it on... and it was way too small. I never got it all the way on.

Ordered my SECOND wetsuit... tried it on... it fit! Got in the water... WOAH! Too big.

Ordered my THIRD wetsuit... tried it on... very tight. Got in the water... too small. My shoulders were fatigued after 100 yards.

Ordered my FOURTH wetsuit... it was HUGE. No way I could keep it.

Now, in my car... I have my FIFTH and SIXTH wetsuits waiting for me to try on and swim in tonight.

I never would have thought in a million years that I wouldn't just be able to pick out a wetsuit and keep it.

I hope your wesuit fits the first time out! Let us know how it goes.

I'm not sure, yet when it will get here. It's still processing.

As for fit, I've already got a dialogue going with the store regarding trying it on and a possible exchange if it doesn't fit. I've got my fingers crossed that it fits though!


So...to test it out in the water, is it necessary to try it out in a lake, or some other big natural water body, or can I hop into the pool at my apartment and swim some laps? I know chlorine isn't good for wetsuits so I'm not sure :confused:

Well, the place I bought all my wetsuits from said I could have one test swim. Never said if it had to be in a pool or lake.

I went to a pool. Honestly, I was in the water for a short amount of time... the wetsuit didn't even lose it's new smell after being rinsed off.

Good luck, I hope it fits perfectly!

It FITS!! :D

Getting it on took some doing. It took me forever to get it on the first time, then get it adjusted correctly. I've got full range of motion without feeling restricted, and no pulling in the crotch area. I took it for a quick swim and it felt really good.

This was my first time swimming in a wetsuit. The extra buoyancy was really cool! Not to mention keeping warm.
