One of my favorite stories about this was when I was coaching age groupers around 15 years ago. I can't remember what the "in" suit was - maybe an Aquablade? - it was a Speedo with a zipper in the back. One of my 10 year old swimmers' parents bought her one of these tech suits for $80 or so because she was going for a Zone time. When she walked out on the deck with her suit it was all my assistant and I could do not to smile or laugh. The parents must have gotten her a size 34 and she was this tiny ten year old. The suit was all wrinkled and gapping. She would have been much better off in a well-fitting lycra suit.
