The Race Club just started carrying swim suits that fit well, look good, and will arrive in your mailbox within a few days: www.theraceclub.net/.../swim-suits Personnaly, I also like the Splish suits ... but we just got our new models in and you should check them out ... they look great and are super fast!

Water Aerobics Shop has great prices for EQ swimwear. They even have a maternity suit.

I love my Endurance suits-can't imagine going back to lycra. One thing that took some getting used to but that I now love about the suit is that it is tight- and I mean using a shoe horn to get it on kinda tight. Helps keep the "ladies" in place while I swim!

I've tried most of the online/mail order swim shops (World Wide Aquatics, Keifer, Kastaway), but my latest find that seems to work is Swim Outlet. I've ordered from them the past few times, and have had great luck. Of course, if Amazon sells it directly (not one of their 3rd party deals), I have ordered a few suits from them, and like everything else Amazon, great service. My latest find is a Speedo suit that combines a drag suit with the brief under it, and it was about $17 on Amazon. It is a bit flashy, but works fine...latest suit.

I have found the "Speedo Endurance +" embroidery on the legs of the jammers will fray before the actual suit. I think these things are indestructible. The first one I got I wore for 18 months. The stitching finally gave out and the material was still like when I first got it. I am now wearing the 2nd one I bought, it's been almost a year. I got a bargain on these at the local Big 5 (about $15 each) and bought 4 of them. 2 more in my drawer that haven't been worn yet. I'm guuessing I won't have to buy another swim suit until I'm 60.

I just wanted to bump this old thread back up because EQ Swimwear is having their grab-bag sale again: buy 2 get 1 free. :banana: I ordered mine yesterday!! Since these suits, even thought they are lycra, last so long, I just started using the ones I ordered last Oct during their 3 for 2 sale. The ones I ordered yesterday probably won't get used until next year! I love their suits so much.

Speedo Endurance is all that, they last forever. Even in the intense AZ sun, swimming 4-6x per week year-round. Excellent! Just found one on sale for $30. I ordered it before reading your recommendation so I guess I lucked out. And yes, I'll watch that stitching!

RE: where do you buy your swimsuits?

Former Member — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:03:53 GMT

And I would not recommend them. Yes, the fabric is great, but the stitching is cheap IMHO. I have five of their jammers in my bag and four of them completely split in the rear seam, and one in the front. They never last me more than two months.:frustrated: And it's made for a couple of embarrassing swims:mooning: Maybe it's because I swim in a Y...or maybe because I'm a breaststroker...I dunno:confused: Speedo Endurance is all that, they last forever. Even in the intense AZ sun, swimming 4-6x per week year-round. On my last Endurance suit, the elastic on the legs wore out first. The fabric was still good, even after more than a year of use! No, Speedo did not pay me to say that! I would recommend any of their Endurance suits, they hold up very well to high duty cycles.

I purchased by Blue Seventy Nero Comp from Triple Sports in Scottsdale. Had to try two on before getting the right size... Great group of people and lots of gear there. They are more oriented for the tri community but they are a worthy source. For all the other gear, I go to SkiPro in Mesa. They purchased Swimmer's Edge not long ago, which is where I used to go. Anyway, SkiPro has three shops in the Phoenix area and they can get anything that Speedo and Tyr makes. They also have other ancillary stuff (goggle straps, kick boards, etc.) that swimmers need. Sports Authority had some good deals on Speedo Endurance suits a while ago. I purchased two of them almost three years ago and still have one that is presentable. Hope this helps...

I usually do Toad Hollow Athletics for my googles, equipment and bargain suits(I don't have to buy workout suits that much since I buy the polyester ones). I recently tried swimoutlet.com. Since Toad Hollow Athletics in the Philly area, you can order stuff from their website and get it the next day sometimes. Of course, you have to live in the Delaware Valley for the quick delivery service and the item has to be in their stock. Toad Hollow usually gets the newest googles before the mainstream sport retailers.

Doug ~ thanks for the tip. I'm on my third lycra jammer since July despite the assurance of salespeople who tell me I should get 6 months in a suit. I rinse them religiously, but I seem to be going through them very quickly.

Tyr makes a nylon brief that is not quite as comfortable as the polyester suits,but the are much cheaper and last almost as long(I can't be sure as I seem to lose them before they wear out.)

Making suits last for multiple years?! I go through at least three sets of briefs a year (only train in pool and swim open water events). So it's grab bag suits for me. Speedo Endurance is all that, they last forever. Even in the intense AZ sun, swimming 4-6x per week year-round. On my last Endurance suit, the elastic on the legs wore out first.

I'm usually the only guy in briefs at the open water events, but I can't get comfortable in anything else. As for goggles, after much futzing and tyring to catch up with the times, I went back to the Swedish goggles which I buy at Kastaway.

great thread, thanks for all the links. The liner in my suit is fine, but the outside layer has separated from it and it is horrendous. Booo Dolphin

I have had good luck with Swim2000.com. I usually wait until they send around one of their 25 to 30% coupon codes and buy a couple of suits and goggles.

check out http://www.h2owear.com/ for chlorine resistant well made suits for women in many styles. I have several and am still able to use one I bought 4 years ago and I swim a lot.
