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!!!

The temptation is to say that great minds think alike. However, more likely is that we just are two of many monkeys with typewriters and have chanced upon the same "text."
I have a pair now that have gone about 450,000 yards since 1 January 06 (yes, I'm training for another run at Manhattan) and they are still rock solid. I usually "treat" myself to 2 pairs a year - one at the start of open water season in June that then becomes the training suit from the end of September to the end of the year and then one pair around Xmas to get me to June. At ~$31 each they are a steal compared to the Lycra grab bag suits I used to kill at the rate of 1 every 3-6 weeks.
