I checked it out and noticed they had speedo legskins on clearance, so I picked one up. There's no way I'm shelling out for a full body suit. We'll see if I get a time drop from it. edit: well it turns out they are out of stock on the size I ordered of that fastskin suit. too bad. i got an email saying they'll cancel and refund that item from my order (i ordered a couple other things too). They still honored the free shipping discount even though the item cancelled from my order put it under $75.

I've placed around 10 orders with swimoutlet.com over the past couple years, and every order has arrived promptly, with exactly the items I ordered.

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 Mel They've always provided fast and accurate service. Any company that supports the organization is a good one.

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. Towards the end of last summer Academy Sports had a major clearance sale on their speedo swimwear. I got about 10 suits for $5 a piece, mostly jammers, but a few briefs and those short-short looking suits. I figured it was a good thing since I was going through the lycra suits every other month. However, I also purchased a speedo endurance suit last October and have been using that ever since, about 6 days a week. So I guess now I've got some racing suits as well. Related to this post, I've had about 4 or 5 purchases from swimoutlet, and have had no problems. :bouncing:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
