As the title suggests I’ve always hated getting into cold water and have been told a wetsuit keeps you warm, how exactly does that work?

The fabric a wetsuit is made out of traps water and heat. The water that can’t escape is heated up by what your body puts out. So essentially you have a layer of insulation after a few minutes. Whatever heat that escapes out of the fabric is replaced by your body as you exercise by swimming.
