I personally don't think it's worth spending the money for a young kid in a tech suit. These kids can be so hit and miss already as it is, and most of the time they're improving times based solely on growing and gaining strength/body mass alone.
On the USA-S team that I train with, there are a couple of younger girls (age 12) who tend to wear "techy" suits at meets, and these are at all meets, not just the "A Champs" or "Regionals", etc. Kids at this age are so emotional as it is anyway, and are more concerned with "she beat me, I beat her" vs. "did I make the National cut?"
