Does anybody have any insight as to what size one should order? The sizing guidelines on Speedo's website suggest that you order one size smaller in the FSII (as compared to an endurance suit) but nothing is said for the PRO. I am inclined to order using the guidelines provided for the FSII but if anybody can offer some firsthand experience I would be most appreciative.
Out of curiosity, why not just size them properly so that you don't need special sizing guidelines?

I've noticed that the more comfortable men are with their swimming ability, the more avant guard they become with their suits.
The high school & college boys I train with love the Speedo Flip-turns prints and train in briefs. The louder the print the better (flowers, bright colors, whatever). It is a bit Darwinian. The best swimmers wear the loudest suits, while the slower guys stick to muted colors or jammers. Of course, these guys have zero body fat and barely need to shave.
Masters swimmers are at a whole different level on the evolutionary chain. We are more comfortable with our bodies (some, perhaps, too comfortable) and do not let things like stretch marks, beer bellies, or a few extra pounds stop us from strutting our stuff on deck. Suits that have seen so many competitons they're see-through--we just wear them in practice! Belly so big you can't see you toes--wear a loud speedo! We may never reclaim the speed we had in our youth, but darn it, we still look good.:D
