Hey All,
So I’ve been a competitive swimmer for a while now, about 11 years now, but have never been too into technical racing suits or really considered them for that matter. However, I’m currently looking into purchasing one, considering I want to do more competitive Masters meets in the future.
Seeing the extend of my suit knowledge has been limited to briefs and recreational jammers, I really don’t know what I’m looking for. I’ve heard from other swimmers it boils down to how it “feels” on you in and out of the water, but what really makes a tech suit “feel” good/fast? Are their certain qualities I’m looking for in the fabric or construction of the suit?
At the end of the day I believe it all boils down to personal preference and how it fits on the swimmer’s body, but I’m just curious to hear people’s opinions on what attributes of the suit design I should look for when trying on different options?
Cheers,
Jacob
im laughing so hard right now.
morning of sunday may 1 in the lockerrooom at usms nats.
a few of us were putting on their suits and commenting on how tough it its, but way easier than the full body suits.
my tyr ap12 went on in about 3mins. which seemed kinda fast but hey this isnt its 1st meet.
when i took it off at the end of the day...washed it, spun it and as i was putting it in my bag noticed.....................
this was my backup suit that is 4years old...not my "race" suit that is only 2 years old.
carlos you can go look at my results from sunday may 1. ;)
p.s. with my usms registration renewal 30% off coupon from tyr i got a new suit for summer nats...omaha nights!!!
