Here's a thread for the ladies to discuss anything that relates to women and swimming. For example, feel free to discuss how disgustingly ugly fastskins are, how the "curse" can kill a meet, how suits don't fit, how swimming wrecks your hair, how hormones unhinge you, etc.
For me, I usually look pretty decent in "regular" suits. However, I look quite hideous in the FS II regular suit style (I think it's called recordbreaker cut). It's not flattering on most by any means. It can even make some of the kids with great bodies look odd. The cut is strange. I usually wear a poly suit (practice meet) or go for the full leg suit if I'm looking to race. But I've worn all of 'em. Kneeskin isn't too flattering either IMO. Full leg looks the best to me.
Have to agree with Puff, Martha. Racing suits are just not designed to enhance female pulchritude, and the FS II tank is notable for the bulge phenomenon. I like the full body suits as well.
To quote Tall Paul, though, you're there for a swim race, not a fashion show. So don your speed suit and swim fast!
