Swim: 1000m

First swim in full-body wet suit with plenty of stops for adjustments. I had the entire 50m outdoor pool to myself which wasn't surprising given the water temperature of 21 degrees.

Feel very constraint when wearing the suit. A bit of panic at the beginning which hampered my breathing. it improved once I floated for a bit and put my head under the water a few times. Arm movement seems very limited which is irritating. On a positive note, the buoyancy really increases speed. Need another pool session before heading in the open water.
