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.

Hi, I am reviving this thread to talk --to RANT--about swim women's suits. As in, Why do they have to be so unflattering?
I recently ordered a cheap poly clearance suit for workouts and it "FIT", but it looked terrible on me. Especially in back. Those super hi-cut legs are so 1980's!!! I am not an overly modest person to say the least, and don't mind the extra skin showing; it's just that in principle I don't like to wear things that make me look bad. I modelled this new poly suit for my family and they all said I actually look better naked. My husband urged me to send it back and said to spend more money, that it wasn't worth it to save $5 to $15 to go around for the next few months in a suit that makes my butt look so bad.
On a lark, I checked out the "fitness" suits online. It's just for a practice suit, so it doesn't need to be FAST, just not something that slows me down... It looks like some of these "fitness" suits could be what I am looking for. Appearance and fit-wise it's hard to tell for sure as they have them modelled on plus-sized gals with super big legs. I felt very confused about what size to get--I went ahead and ordered 2 sizes bigger.

Can anyone tell me, is it faster to have high cut legs? Will this "fitness" suit slow down my repeat times? sigh- I really wish they made a good one piece practice suit with a boycut leg. That would be so hot!
End of rant.
