Rubber Seal Wetsuit

Tried on my wetsuit in swim class tonight. I felt like a rubber seal, blubbering around. Bouyancy was good, but after so many drills and laps, my arms ached. It was hot though under that insulation. It was weird jumping into the water and not feeling the water against my skin!

Wetsuits are not designed for slow drills, like catch-up drills. There was another drill where coach asked us to deliberately go slowly and 'sink'. How to?

We swam a couple of 50m. Consistently ~ 1:04min
400m - 9:35min
400m - 9:10min
300m - 7:20min
300m - 7:20min

Then some 50m sprints. Again consistently ~ 1:01 - 1:03min.

Oh aching arms....

400m - 9:
