Any thoughts on sizing? I am 5'11", 150 pounds, waist 32", chest 40"--I was thinking a size 26. The local distributor only stocks the Point Zero but will be contacting the company Monday. They may try to have a few sizes shipped.
I got a blue seventy size 26 (I'm a little over 6' and a bit under 170) I tried it in practice yesterday. It seemed to fit fine (perahps a bit tight on the shoulder straps). Took under 15 min to put on.
After a pre competition warmup i did the following with just a speedo:
25 meter pool All efforts on full rest. All hand touches.
Plunge for distance. (I do these all the time. dive from the side of the pool to see how far you glide before your head breaks the surface) 43'. Heavy guys always kill me on this.
25 fly from blocks (13.3)
25 free from blocks (12.1)
25 SDK from blocks (15.3)
Changed into blue seventy
Plunge for distance 47'
25 fly from blocks (12.8)
25 free from blocks (11.7)
25 free from blocks (11.7)
These were pretty legit times with a seperate starter and timer with instructions that the time be as accurate and consistant as possible. As few efforts as I did, I was definitely tired at the end. Maybe because I was freezing.
What I really liked was how it felt while swimming slowly. 2 less strokes a length 12-13 as opposed to my usual 14-15.
I'll be going to Long Beach where I'll see how it does under true competion conditions.
