Ok, I just broke down and ordered one for our LMSC meet. I have a question for those of you that have swam in them before. How quickly do they dry out. We have a two day meet (more or less) and I want to be able to use it both days. I just want to make sure that it'll dry well enough over night. Also any other tips I should know or things I should be aware of?
Thanks, y'all!

Can any body agree on anything? Haha ... Seriously, I've heard wear the suit before the meet, don't wear the suit before the meet (that's my plan), shave down a couple days before, don't shave down until the night before (again, my plan), etc. Basically it comes down to doing what you feel comfortable with I guess.
I did try on the suit just to make sure it did fit. I'll have an aquablade in my bag "just in case". I don't want to stretch out the suit at all first. I'll be swimming some races I've never swam before at the state meet so it'll be all sorts of good times.
I totally agree with the goggles idea though. I would never wear brand new goggles at a meet. Those babies need to be adjusted and worn at least once or twice first. I swear by speed sockets, and have a couple of pairs and I still wouldn't wear a brand new pair for the first time at a meet. But that's just me.
