They don't. I mean, I swear by Speedo suits, but the cost is crazy. They give away a lot of free suits to sponsored teams, so they have to make up for that somehow. Qualifiers for USAS Nationals, US Open, and Trials get a free suit of their choice each time they attend those meets. Since the FS1 was introduced in 2000/2001, I've only had to purchase a tech suit one time (and I've been swimming year round every year since then). They definitely give away thousands of suits per year. National Team members probably have an unlimited supply.
I think I'm going to try a Yingfa suit. My speedo stash is running low (and the rule changes cut out a lot of my suits :bitching:). I'm not sure...Medium size perhaps comparable to a 28?
I originally got a Large size, when I was wearing a 30. But after losing weight, I'm at a 28, and also downsized to a Medium in Yingfa. That feels fine to me.
