wetsuit for pool??? and what size

[madprops]

hey i was just thinking about getting a wetsuit for pool training as the pool in my city is really cold. i'm not to sure if pools let people use wetsuits?? i'm sure some of them do. i know the guys at my pool well so i'm sure they will let me if a ask but can i go to any pool with a wet suit?

as for getting a wet suit i don't know what size i need and there is no place in my city that sells wetsuits so i can't try them on. and should i be looking at a 1mm 2mm 3mm or more?? i was thinking if i get at lest a 3mm i can use it out side in the summer

i'm 6 foot 2 and 180 lbs my weight goes up for down by about 5 at random. any help would be really sweet as i want to get my wet suit soon!!

any tips on free diving for depth and how to train in a pool would be sweet to (i have a buddy thats learning with me)

What about a 3mm Vest and shorts? Check out Eliossub.com to get them custommade with perfect fit
Should be sufficient for the pool.

You need to find out what the temp range of the pool is. Life guards should know. For pool practice with temps in the high 70s F, a 3/2 surfer suit is sufficient. You should be able to order one on the web, no problem.

Varies with the maker, try Watersports West Largo, Florida, USA for some good advise, good prices and a huge inventory. I'm sure they would ship.

There are probably dozens of good places on the web that I don't know. I've dealt with these guys and had good results.

hmm, the citation to WatersportsWest didn't come through like I wrote it. You will have to use Google to find the wedsite.

Hi Madprops,

Maybe should wait a while before you buy a nice wetsuit because you wrote that you are still growing. (An inch in 4 hours) rofl

cheers,Eric
