Hello all. I started swimming for the first time in my life about a year and a half ago. As such I am very slow, but that is ok with me. I recently swam in my first masters meet and it was a lot of fun. I however need some suggestions on type of suit. I currently wear a baggy recreational suit, and my coach says time to upgrade. Since I have lost 70 pounds in the last year, (but still have all the skin) a speedo is out of the question, what I need is a comfortable but yet snugger fitting suit. Maybe just a better recretional suit? Your suggestions appreciated.

I think a Jammer might be just what the Dr. ordered. Check them out at Speedo's website. The Endurance line is great for practice. My last suit went for almost a year before I replaced it.
Hello All,
Yup. Those "endurance" suits last a LONG time. The inside liner dies before the outside. (Thank God.)
Hoosier, a standing ovation for you for losing 70 lbs. Been there, done that.

Did anyone else see the new suits for women who are pregnant? They look really comfortable. I know that when a friend of mine and my sister both got pregnant, they had a terrible time getting suuits that woudl let them bew able to move their arms.

I'm as skinny as I can be. One of my sisters and a good friend were pregant at the same tiem. They coudln't find any suits that woudl let them workout . they both said that when they reached forward, the suit would hurt them. My sister, Randi, even got a very large suit & tied it in places. All women I'vbe spoken too say that when they were pregnant, they hated suits. this one looked like it took care of the problem.
