The weight of my armor is not a problem to swim. I just have to use more strength. And I was not alone: I invited a friend and her son. They didn't par attention to my stuff. No one did. I swam with the huge collar visible, no one asked about it.
The armor was well hidden under the swimsuit (I wore my beloved Metroid swimsuit). However, the heart shape is very easy to spot because of its thickness. This is something I don't mind.
My equipment is made out of stainless steel. I have enver got any problem with rust. Locks could rust. I have no way to check if locks work properly, it will be a surprise for the 22nd of July!
Currently feeling: relaxed
