Who has ever worn one? I bought one about ten months ago and have to do a swim in it today. Am dreading it as I recall trying it on when I bought it and it is the world's most demoralising experience! Need to try a swim in it to make sure I don't split the bum diving in lol.

Not looking forward to this!!!!

    Well, it sounds like it helped!! I'm glad you got into it. I can't imagine the struggle. But getting OUT of a wet suit is not picnic either. I saw a post of facebook about swimmers trying to get into racing suits (men and women) and it was hilarious. I laughed until I cried (WITH THEM--they were confused, astonished, and probably demoralized!) WTG, Emma!!! :heart:

    I don't have one but a lot of my teammates wear them and they say it definitely makes a difference in their race times. I have never seen people wear them at practice though. Mainly because they are super expensive and you don't want to wear them out and also, as you say, they are a nightmare to put on and take off.

    Don't you have a super important meet coming up?

    I think the slower you are the more beneficial they are!
