I have 2 techsuits and don't know which one to wear for my high school state champs. One is a TYR Avictor Venom size 25 (closed back, don't know if it matters) and the other is a Speedo LZR Pro size 23. Im a size 24 in techsuits. I got the TYR only used once for a great deal, so no returns. The TYR is also slightly to big, almost no stomach compression. I haven't tried on the Speedo yet (I know I need to, just haven't had time), but I'm expecting it to be really really tight. If I can squeeze my big butt into the Speedo without ripping it which suit should I wear. I know the TYR is a better suit but is slightly to big and the Speedo is not as good but is really tight. I also have USA swimming champs coming up in a month or 2 and will need a tech suit for that. So I was wondering what a more knowledgeable/experienced swimmer would do. Thanks! :)
This may be a dumb question, but what is the purpose around having the tightest fit possible. I can see wehre some compression makes sense, but does it make it so you have a harder time breathing or straps digging in so hard it hurts to move? And if it's to make you more streamlined, unless you're already super fit or a stick, it seems like you're just squishing things so that there are rolls outside the fabric where flesh is pushed out? I know this sounds funny, but I'm asking a genuine question of why so tight?
