Should I buy my kid a tech suit?

For those who want to debate the significance of buying high performance gear for their children.:argue:

  • I got people in my area that wear them to EVERY masters meet, not just state or local championship type meets. OHAI :wave: a meet with "dual meet" importance. It took me a while to get out of that mentality. I'm glad I did. Also most masters swimmers are competing much less frequently than kids are. They want every race to 'count.' I don't know when my best swims will occur, and there are three different courses we compete in (plus open water!), so I try to swim as fast as I can at every meet, typically using supercompensation effect instead of a taper. Tyr Tracer Light jammers cost about $100 and last me about a year.
