Ok, not the most dainty of subjects, but there's not much about this sport which is prim and proper anyway.

So the question: I just got my first wetsuit and upon training with it for the first time the sound and movement of the water played its usual trick of encouraging my bladder. I "held it", but very much wished I hadn't had to about 15 minutes into my swim.

Is it wetsuit-safe, to just let 'er rip while wearing your suit in the water? I'd hate to lose that last chance to lose a few ounces and relieve some bladder pressure without running ashore to a Johnny On The Spot that may or may not be present minutes before the gun.
