  • Also most masters swimmers are competing much less frequently than kids are. They want every race to 'count.' Yes. I absolutely wear a tech suit at every meet I compete in, even if just for fun. I want to learn to race in the suit; it changes how you feel in the water, kick counts, breakouts, etc. I notice absolutely zero diminution in mental motivation from this practice. To the contrary, I always look forward to racing in my kneeskin. For adults, I've never thought the appropriateness of wearing a tech suit should be tied to how fast their times are.
