Hi. I am a parent of 9 y.o. boy, with great swimming potential. :)
For the past 3 years I've been buying jammers just based on the fit (and kept buying a size larger every year). Now, I've decided to actually check recommended sizing.
He is very tall - 4'10". His waist is about 26 and every site states that for this waist size should be 26. I am so confused as my son is wearing size 30 and I am thinking to already buy size 32 (next season).
I am looking for recommendation from coaches and professional swimmers! Maybe I am wrong with sizing and that potentially can be not so good for his timing. I am also planning to buy an expensive suit for his swim meets (Blueseventy NERO TX Men's Jammer) and I don't want to make a mistake in sizing.
Please share your opinion! Thanks!!

A Speedo endurance is all he needs. I don't see any value at all of buying a 9 year old a tech suit. Personally, I find tech suits for 10/unders to be a colossal waste of money and more about the parents than the kids. Most young kids are already ripped. Just buy a size down from what you have. I asked my daughters what the fast boys wear on their teams and they said the fastest boys all wear traditional briefs over jammers.
If you must buy a tech suit for a 9 year old buy an aquablade about two sizes too small. They are cheap. I wear a 26 in my tech suits, although my wife says it is borderline obscene, maybe over the border.
