What tips do you all have for keeping a racing suit functional as long as possible? I have been thoroughly enjoying my first one, after a few fashion/fitness models this is so much more comfortable!!!! However, it has already "given out" in a couple spots and I've only worn it about six weeks. For me that is 4 - 5 times/week. Will 30 workouts mark the beginning of the end of a racing suit? I do rinse it out after every swim in medium temperature water = cool shower water.
Any tips of the trade??? What do you all do to keep your suits going?
Thanks!!!

I have found that the 100% polyester suits (Nike makes a nice one) will last about 1 year, won't fade much and will not disintegrate as lycra does after "30 workouts". And it costs less than lycra. Go figure.
Disadvantages: The polyester does not stretch as much as lycra so it can cause suit burns, usually under the armpit or on the neck (women, obviously).
The trick is to wear and old, worn out lycra suit under the polyester suit to protect yourself.
