Need Immediate Help Picking The Right Size And Model Fastskin Body Suit
Former Member
I was hoping that someone out there can help me pick out the right size fastskin II Body Suit to order off of the internet....According to the website I was perusing, you can NOT return them once they have been purchased (for any reason!). I have placed a link below (at the end of the message) for the type of suit I am currrently most interested in buying (It's a Fastskin II Male High-Neck Kneeskin body suit)....I heard from a friend that they may be too tight around the shoulders??....I don't want a Fastskin that goes all the way down to the ankles b/c someone told me that would be bad for breaststroke (and I am swimming 2 individual Medley events at Nationals)....Any opinions on that would be welcome also!!
Also tips on how to put them on.....Should they be dry at race time??....Can you put them in those rapid spinning machines you see at the YMCA to get the excess water out of them between races??...(or would that damage them in some way??)...And any other related opinions would be great!
I am 40 years old....I am 5'11'' and weigh around 194 pounds (and gradually losing)....I usually wear extra large size shirts (although I can fit into a large shirt...but a large feels a little too snug for me)....I am currently wearing a 34 size waist (pant size)...and I have around a 17'' neck size....I am a little thick in the midsection ...and around the neck and shoulders....I was thinking that the extra large size fastskin would probably be the best fit...(not too tight or restrictive??)....but then again I don't want a suit that fits too loosely either...(i.e. I want the suit to be relatively snug...but also feel relatively comfortable)....Also,
I need to order the suit sometime in the next few days to have it by Friday April 8th (when I leave for my first swim meet in 18 years)....Please help with any advise!
Here's the website for the fastskin I am currently the most intersested in (although I can be persuaded to change my mind)
