Artwork of a player in a wet suit fromAnimal Crossing: New Leaf

Awet suit is a clothing item introduced inAnimal Crossing: New Leaf. It allows theplayer to goswimming in thesea and catchsea creatures.

Wet suits, along with diving and sea creatures, were added inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons in Wave 1 of theFree Summer Update.

Usage[edit]

Players can enter the sea by pressing "A" while adjacent to it. To swim faster, players must tap "A" quickly. Players can dive with "Y" and move while underwater with "A". Once players have touched a dark spot in the water, they will catch it and reveal what it is. Players cannot stay underwater for long, but the longer they are underwater, the faster they move.

Players can also leap from cliffs and into the sand or the sea by standing near the cliff and pressing "A".

Players cannot wear other clothes while they are wearing a wet suit; only shoes, headwear and accessories remain visible. Other clothing articles remain worn under the wet suit, but cannot be seen nor removed until the wet suit is removed.

The same rules apply inNew Horizons, and the player is now able to swim automatically by pressing and holding the A button, albeit slightly slower than by tapping the A button.

Players cannot enter theAble Sisters changing room while wearing a wet suit or save one to a slot on awand.

Trivia[edit]

• If the player gets out of the water at night inNew Leaf, they will shiver.
• If the player creates a save file after Wave 1 of the Summer Update inNew Horizons, a wet suit is able to be bought fromTommy on the first proper day, and the player is able to access the places usually inaccessible at that point, even beforeBlathers gives them therecipe for thevaulting pole.
• InNew Horizons, if the player jumps into the ocean from theAirport dock, thePier, a portruding landmass or a flat rocky surface, they will stop in their tracks and perform a somewhat careful jump into the ocean. However, if the player is running as they jump, they will perform a front-flip jump instead. The animation for entering the ocean from a beach stays the same regardless of whether the player is running or not.
