speedo endurance.. yikes!

I overheard one of my coworkers mentioning that she had watched the swimmers underwater, and was surprised at how terribly the fat jiggled, even on fairly slender people. It's not just fat. Loose skin is even worse, as in people who lose a lot of weight but have stretched out skin. A reason compression is a big marketing factor in technical suits is because large muscles will heave also as they move in a vigorous manner and tense/relax. About buying endurance suits for meets: our team has bought them targeting the younger kids who will just buy one suit and go to meets occasionally. Many of these are not wealthy families and the expense of new swimwear for 2-3 kids gets out of hand. Between their events they will be running around, playing, and doing other stuff that will snag and tear a lycra suit. The fastest kids will have a performance meet suit that they only wear for their championships meets and they will wear "uglies" and stuff that make our team look like "Team Goodwill" at the regular meets where they aren't tapered. The younger kids are not going to gain enough time to make much difference in the endurance suits, and we like to put more emphasis on getting their times through showing up to practice and learning their skills, as well as showing up to the blocks on time. We've had enough complaints that we'll probably offer BOTH a lycra and an endurance suit as "official team suits" if we can find a good suit rather than just a solid black. It gets hard to stock a team store with a team suit both in jammers and briefs and lycra and endurance and thin-strap and thick-strap and Aquablades and all, plus all the various sizes.
