The wetsuit is always being accused of shrinking over time.
People grow, put a teenager in a wetsuit, they grow.
Mum I need a new wetsuit
Put an old fart in a wetsuit the weight for age steaks and beers, gives them their own expanding universe in orbit around their waist.
Wetsuits perish, get horribly smelly in the back of a car in the plastic bucket, they rot from surf inflicted urine, sun light breaks down the fabric. Their natural enemy (which also make an enemy of your mother) is the clothes drier. It makes an interesting smear around the drum.
The wetsuit stench is useful for ending tired relationships, promoting tinea corpus, jock itch (which is another form of tinea) and other associated fungal infestations.
So rinse your wetsuit as often as possible in fresh water hang to dry in the shade in a light breeze, do not leave on the ground while drying, it is the ideal breeding ground for scorpions , funnel web spiders ( Deadliest spider in Australia).
But shrinking , not much
