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
I've got the TYR short john (down to knees with shoulder straps), it's comfortable and I swim quite a few 100/200 breasts and 200/400 IM's.
I'm aware of the concern that while drawing up the legs to catch during the early kick phase, that excess water may collect in the seat (crotch) area, but, oh well.
Doesn't seem to be that big of a deal and I can get into and out of it easily.
