I am going to buy my 12 year old daughter a high performance swimsuit for christmas. Price is not an issue. Any recommendations on what is the best suit out there right now?
Thanks for the replies. Seeing as though her dad is a derivative trader and her mom is a calculus teacher, I think she will be fine in the math and science dept. if anybody would like to answer the question instead of giving a lecture, feel free. Perhaps you missed the part where it was going to be her christmas present. Its what she wants. She has plenty of math and science books but they don't really make that great of a christmas present.
Well said! If this were a Facebook post, I'd hit "like."
The OP is talking about something she'll use and enjoy in a healthy activity--not about being a "stage parent" or about buying her the latest $150 designer jeans. As a youngster, I LOVED riding horses and got some very good quality presents centered on that interest. No, I didn't become a famous equestrian, but I did have some great experiences and appreciated that I felt valued and respected. Eventually I moved on to other interests, but neither I nor my parents had any regrets. They wanted us to try different activities. My sister got outfitted for ballet lessons and recital costumes. I would have too except that after one recital experience I felt I'd had my fill. So get her the suit she wants.
I wish I could offer more specific suggestions but I haven't ever used a high tech suit, so I'm not too familiar with what's available--but maybe her coach could suggest something... or other posters here, I hope!
