speedo endurance.. yikes!

I pretty much only wear speedo endurance suits (I have one Dolphin poly too): It does stretch, though slowly, and I do get wedgies. I don't care about the latter since I have mastered the flip-turn un-wedge maneuver, but they do seem to move less than lycra, so the wedgie is not so bad. So I wouldn't worry so much. If you are used to lycra maybe it will seem odd, but they last about a million times longer.

I think I got one of those last year and I wore it maybe twice. The material is so uncomfortable and it does not seen to stretch at all.

We should wear jammers? What kind of top do you recommend with them? :D I bought a poly suit online with a higher cut than I'm used to but it stays in place fine, but yeah, it does take a little acclimating.

whats the flipturn un wedge maneuver?! i desparately need to learn this! There is also the 6 kick drill on the side tug you can do as well. These suits seem to be made for some alien no-hipped women. Even the teen girls get major wedgies from them. I tried sizing up, and it just made the top gap badly.

My endurance suit ... it creeps up and as the suit gets older it seems to get worse. It is really annoying to have to adjust it so much. But on its worst day it still is better than those old nylon suits we wore in HS (1973). We had a shoestring to keep the straps from falling off the shoulders AND the butt still kept riding up. We would hook our thumbs into the bottom on flipturns in practice, probably a few times in meets. Thank GOODNESS those days are gone! While the endurance suit is not as comfortable as the lycra suits, it is nice to have more than the 3 months of steady training in a lycra suit before it disintegrates into spandex crumbs and see-through. There is a hottub at one of my swim venues, and it's nice to indulge in that afterwards without thinking that it is going to result in untimely demise of a $70 lycra training speedo (what it costs to special order my size).

The flip-turn un-wedge: At a point in your turn, your hand should be near your butt, usually when your legs are coming over and you are doing the final pull. Un-wedge then. I do not reccommend doing it at the end where your coach stands, but that might be paranoia on my part. It took me a little bit to be able to do it and not pause. Good luck.

hahaha i have a male swim coach... bleh. i also do this too, but it's REALLY hard with paddles... and we have these long pulling sets. oh boy.

I love my Endurance Square Legs, just long enough for bike and run, short enough to stay cool during the race, and wears like iron.
