Hi New to Forum w/ question.....probably asked before in some way or another BUT i'll try anyway -
My son (2nd year swimmer, 9yo, broke a pool record in his first season) is in need of a new suit for the season.
He wants a Speedo racer and Speedo Jammers. I'm a divorced mom on a budget and I'm wondering about speed. These things don't affect your performance in any way, do they? He's going to get the same results based on his ability no matter if i spend $14 or $34 on a pair of racers, right? He thinks he needs the name brand speedos or TYRs but after shelling out yet another $140 for the season, plus even more on towels, goggles, deck shoes, personalized sweatshirts and all that..... you know how it is.......is it worth the extra expense? Does anybody have any feedback?
Thank you in advance!!!!!!!!!

Try Ebay. I have found new swim suits and it may take a little time to get the right size.
But as a coach I would suggest he need not to get caught up in what everyone else is wearing at that age. I beat people in the bike at triathlons with a $200 bike against $4000.00 bikes. Its what powering the machine not the equipment all the time.
Good Luck!
