Why is it so difficult to get into a wetsuit?
Getting into a neoprene wetsuit may seem like mission impossible, especially for those who are inexperienced with such a task. Neoprene wetsuits need to have a tight fit, as this is what prevents water from getting in. If the wetsuit is too big, swimmers will be more exposed to the cold, as well as to skin irritation as the wetsuit will move over the course of their session.

I feel the muscular effort differently when wearing a wetsuit for open water swimming. Is this normal?
If you’re enjoying your first open-water sessions with a wetsuit, it's completely normal to feel a different muscular effort, because the sleeves offer added buoyancy for your arms, and so you have to use more strength to plunge your arms into the water. This sensation will ease off and disappear after a few sessions.
