OK. I've been a little out of the loop and could use some help. Could someone please tell me what kind of suit to buy for something like Nationals? I've been told long leg, short leg, arms, no arms, and even an improper suggestion!
I was told that breaststrokers should do short leg or no leg, backstroke long leg as well as free, and I don't worry about fly! My dilemma is I swim mid-distance back, ***, IM and the occasional distance event. I'm thinking a short leg and long leg suit would be ideal, however until I start breaking some records (not happening anytime soon!) and getting free suits, I can afford only one. Which one? And I'm not even bringing up the whole 'which material' dilemma...
Any input would be helpful.
Thanks :p
Lindsay, thanks for your response, although it wasn't helpful.
(1) I have a nice regular suit that I call a practice suit.
(2) I already have one of the best coaches in Kerry O'Brien.
(3) Of course the goal is speed. Swim suits do play a part in performance, albeit they don't take the place of hard work.
Speed is a relevant term anyway, isn't it?
I was just looking for some input on current suits, what people have tried, like, feel comfortable in, etc. Sorry for the confusion.
