Wetsuit Fit Tips

[MINIskirt]

My new wetsuit is scheduled to be here next week and I want to make sure it fits correctly.

What are some key things to look out for, both when initally putting the suit on and during the test swim? Any specific areas or things that indicate a good fit or bad fit?

I do not know how much advice I have, just be prepared, it should be tight. Mine fits, the crotch is where it is supposed to be and the armpits are where they are supposed to be, but it is tight.

I was in no way prepared for that until I experienced it.

Here's a quick, easy "how to" for the wetsuit:

Just make sure you get it all the way into the crotch. If it's not there, you have to work from the ankle up the leg to do it.

Otherwise, you can't really tell a true fit until you hit the water in it. Then you can tell if it's going to fatigue your shoulders.. or pull in the crotch.

Good luck!
