As soon as I stepped into the pool, cold water went through the wetsuit. It took several minutes to warm up. When I tried to swim I felt weighted down and dragging almost as bad as wearing clothes in the water. When I got out of the pool, my wetsuit socks were full of water. The wetsuit fit snugly in the torso but was very loose in the arms and legs.
The socks were snug until they got wet. What do I need to do?

Large chest too. I'm a Girl, I'm 5'0 tall, not thin, but average. Excellent suggestions! I agree-best to try before purchasing such expensive items. I am 5'6" and an extra large short is tight as it could possibly be on me. I'm 5'10" boy who weighs pounds what size you think I am. My year-old son is 5'11 weighs what size wet sure would should I buy.

We wrote the ultimate wetsuit sizes and fitting guide so that you really know what is important. Happy reading! It is a wetsuit size calculator for all brands and water sports! Fortunately, there are now also intermediate sizes, some of which even take the physique into account.
For example, the size MS means that it is M, but for people with a rather wide and short physique. MT, on the other hand, means that a person has M, but tends to have a tall and thin physique. Not all manufacturers have all intermediate sizes. Your wetsuit size and intermediate sizes can therefore vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. For the perfect wetsuit fit, your wetsuit is firmly attached to your whole body and you have a slight tightness.
With the time the whole wetsuit widens anyway a little bit. However, breathing should not be restricted. No wrinkles should be visible except for the area under the armpits for the purpose of arm mobility.
In addition, the wetsuit should fit tightly enough on the neck so that as little water as possible can get in. Otherwise too much water will spread in this area. Also, a fit that is too tight will put a lot of stress on the wetsuit, causing the neoprene to thin out and the seams to leak and break down faster. All the gaps and extra material will allow more water into the suit, making your body work much harder to stay warm.
If you are in between sizes the best thing to do is try on both sizes, or if you are ordering online you can consult a wetsuit expert. Generally, height and weight are the most important measurements, however getting specific measurements for your waist and chest will help narrow it down when you are between sizes. Other factors to consider are weight fluctuations and your personal preference for how snug you want the suit to fit.
The size of a wetsuit can play a large role in the perceived flexibility of a wetsuit. For instance, if the suit is short in the torso or tight in the chest it can restrict the movement of your arms. If a wetsuit is too snug you will wear it out sooner.
