I’ll have to stop eating cake as it’s a size down from my weight but i’ve Been losing weight so hopefully before long it’ll be the correct size 😄 My first OW swim will be Tue night so paid for next day delivery, hoping to have it in time to try out.

A couple of years ago 2 people practically lifted me up by mine the first time in, but it fitted fine after that 😂
