just a warning to avoid a men's swimsuit, made by a very well-known swimming gear manufacturer, with the model name of "endurance+ jammers". It has a stitched seam that goes up the back of the suit. This seam may fail. It happened to me today, was plenty embarrassing.
I've heard of suit failures but I didn't expect it to happen from this manufacturer, from a suit designed for endurance. If you compete at all or train a lot I'd be sure to replace it with a suit that doesn't have a seam in that particular location.

The fabric wasn't damaged, the stitching just came out. The gap in the seam developed quickly, over the course of a lap or two at most. I was doing breaststroke at the time, at which point I was informed about the problem by one of the staff.
I'm gonna stick with the tried and true side-stitched nylon practice suit, also by the same manufacturer, it's lasted forever. If you continue to use the suit just pay close attention to the stitching, don't let it get damaged.
