so i live in kailua kona and have had no reason for a wet suit because the water usually hovers between 80-76 all year round. now, i've signed up for a triathlon on the mainland and have picked up a wetsuit for the swim since the water will be somewhere in the the hi 50's to low 60's. the point is ive never swam in a suit and now am getting really bad rear shoulder pain in it. ive only done 2 swims in it so is it a getting used to it issue or is it something else. i think that it fits fine, maybe a little tight, but they have to fit tight, right?

help, i'm freaking out about the cold water.

The suit should be snug. But you should have full flexibility. Which suit is it? Here's a video of how to properly put on a wetsuit....
