What's your experience with them? I've just ordered a couple of swim caps and swiss goggles.. they seem to have great prices.
I'm about to buy Training Suits and i need your advise. I need something comfortable and not too short or "ultra tight" if you know what i mean. How are the square leg speedos? how do they compare to TYR?

Also, my jeans size is 32, what size should i order the speedo in?
Thanks!
polyester suits will stay like new for years.
Although I have only used mine since last March, it still looks and feels like it did the first time I wore it.

I just did some holiday shopping for my two swimmers. Fast shipping and great prices.
I am pleased to announce SwimOutlet.com will soon be a Silver Level Corporate Partner with USMS. We will soon have a link between their website and ours. We look forward to building a lasting relationship with SwimOutlet.com

My recent experience was quite different. Shipping took 13 days - 7 days for the package to travel from California to Illinois, then another 6 to make it from a post office twenty miles away to my house (I tracked it on DHL's website). I live in the metropolitan Chicago area and receive fast service from FedEx, UPS, and the U.S. Postal Service. When I called DHL, they told me that they "don't deliver" in my area.
The price and quality of the merchandise were very good, but if you're in the metro Chicago area and need your order right away I'd try somewhere else which doesn't use DHL.

Thanks for the feedback, guys!
I’m sorry it took so long for your package to arrive; that's a very unusual shipping time for our DHL@Home service. If you email me (carrie@clubswim.com) with your Order Number or full name and email, I could have a customer service representative investigate and contact you about refunding any shipping fees you paid.
In regards to the initial post, I compared the two training suits you listed. The TYR suit is a bit looser and it stretches quite a bit more due to the fabric – a nylon/lycra blend, while the Speedo suit is made out of polyester. A size 32 in the TYR suit is 11 ½ “ long with a 3 ¼” inseam, while the same size in the Speedo suit is 10 ½” long with a 3” inseam. Overall, the TYR training suit is longer, looser, and the fabric has more stretch. That sounds like what you wanted, nothing too tight! If you order a training suit, you should definitely go with a 32, unless you wear your pants particularly large, in which case you should size down to a 30.

Personally I have given up on training suits that contain any lycra at all in favor of the polyester suits. Depending on how much time you spend in the water lycra suits will start falling apart in a couple months while polyester suits will stay like new for years.

I love swimoutlet.com. They have super fast delivery (even if you just get the free standard delivery when you spend $75, it still comes in four or five business days). Their customer service team is very friendly and super helpful. Great prices, great selection. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

I have shopped on swimoulet.com and it is definatly the best swim shop on the internet.
I tried swimoutlet.com on two separate occasions. After placing the orders on line, I received an e-mail acknowledging the order. After 8 days or so, I check on line and in both cases the orders showed as being "in process". The first time, I called and found out that the suits I ordered were not in stock. I canceled the order. The second time, I received an e-mail saying that two items were not in stock. In each case, they charged my credit card (apparently before checking their stock). I won't try them a third time.
I have had good luck with Swim2000 and Swimtowin. Most recently, I bought my suits through Swimtowin.com and they arrived in 3-4 days from across the country.
