Default Pre-1920s Wet Wool Bathing Suits

Before Jantzen Corporation invented a fabric specifically designed for swimsuits (and also invented the term swimsuit), women and men wore woolen 'bathing costumes" that would cling to the body when wet. Are there any more examples such as these two photos? I am specifically looking for wet suits that are clinging to the female wearers' bodies.
