How fast does a wetsuit dry?

Just wondering how fast these things dry after using them. I was going to go for a practice swim tomorrow (Saturday) then use the wetsuit for a Monday morning race. Will that be too soon to use it, or does it even matter? Can you still get the wetsuit on when it's a little wet?

Hang it inside out. Should be no problem especially since it will be nice this weekend. Don't hang it in direct sunlight.

Good luck on monday. I may be down there watching the race.

First when you are done with it hose it off to get any debris off or to rinse salt water off.

Roll it in a towel.

Then turn it inside out and roll it in a towel again.

This should get most of the water out.

Then hang it to dry where there will be some decent airflow.

Nothing to it, but to do it
