I have recently gotten back into swimming and I am looking for my first tech suit. *** stroke is my choice swim along with free (If this helps for certain suits). I am 6 01 and roughly 200lbs. with a waist size of 34. Any help would be great. Ryan

  • You're going to be around a 30 depending on how thick your thighs are. But I would definitely recommend finding a place to try some brands on before buying. I'm 6'1"+ 195# with a 33" waist but pretty big thighs for a swimmer thanks to my Olympic lifting phase a couple years back. I have a 30 TYR Thresher that has almost no compression after my first meet so I probably should have gotten a 28. Just recently went to the swim shop to try some other brands on to get something tighter, tried a 30 BlueSeventy and couldn't get the thing on all the way because it wouldn't fit over my thighs - either it was made for short people or the gasket material in the thighs didn't have enough stretch. Ended up with a 30 Speedo LZR Racer Pro that fits about as well as I could hope. That's my N=1, I don't have experience with any other brands but Nike and they are out of the tech suit game. But anyway you should try to find someplace to try some on first.
