Hi folk--
Just replaced my fading into oblivion speedo with a new model and got to thinking about the retired suits that I keep around--sometimes to double up... for modesty and drag/resistance. But some after a while even become useless in that capacity. While there doesn't seem much you can do with the totally worn to a frazzle suits, I do kind of wonder if there's any way to salvage/re-use them for something--not even necessarily swimming... although a quilt full of faded squares probably doesn't cut it. Still, maybe some of you have made some sort of creative use of unwearable suits?
Just one of those things a person thinks about instead of having a life... ;)

in time when I "start" a new suit. Late last year I was wearing a suit that I had been wearing for a good 9 months. While the inner lining appeared to be OK and still fit, the outer shell was a bit loose. I put on a new suit, same size, same cut (different color?) and my times dropped immediately.
Maybe it was the compression factor or the fact that I wasn't dragging part of the pool along with me?
