Blue Seventy Nero Comp sizing

Thanks for the replies. I ordered a size 26 which should arrive in time for the November 22 scm meet in Dallas. Any tips on getting into the suit?

yesterday I did a fast 25 free in practice wearing Speedo Pro Legs went 9.79 I did another fast 25 free for time today in practice wearing a blueseventy nero comp went 9.3 I plan to wear one this weekend at Tempe in a SCM meet I'm curious to see how this years times will compare to last December 1st, 2007 www.usms.org/.../showpost.php December 2nd, 2007 www.usms.org/.../showpost.php

Chris, I am looking into the knee-high version. I was just worried about getting the suit on with my calves. It shouldn't be a problem with the knee-high.

That's pretty significant--almost a half second difference per 25! And you are fast to begin with. Let me make some quick calculations. Okay, borrow the 1, subtract the 6. Apply Finnish formula parameter recallibration algorithms. Stipulate this and a little of that. Oh, My, GOD!!!! I have just beaten Paul Wolf in the 50 freestyle. And while he was gasping for breath at the wall, I continued to swim, beating Chris Stevenson in the 100 free, Paul Smith in the 200 free, Jim McConica in the 1650, and finally lapping Kristina Ulveling in the 25k. The only person I can't beat is Leslie Livingston, probably because she wears two B-70 suits simultaneously. I gotta get one of these suits!

I would share my one suit with you, Jim, but I fear it is currently the wrong size. W24. Perhaps after the promised 25 or so swims it will be sufficiently stretched out that I can get it on in 10 seconds flat. It will then be ready to pass on to you with a wee bit of pixie dust still intact. Possibly even by SCY CZ when, with forumites in rapt attendance, you test Ian's hypothesis and ascertain whether the alleged "float" can carry you to 22+ second Zonesman accolades. And, if you are really ready to rock and roll, you can put my old recordbreaker Pro under that for added compression. Onward!

Ian, thanks for the vote (mandate?) of confidence. Leslie, thanks for the offer, but as anyone who knows us also knows, I am not worthy so much as to touch, let alone, inhabit your swimming raiment, even if by fluke of real estate law I am now part owner of your (our) house-compound-starter mansion.

Not sizing, but it looks like Cameron van den Burgh was wearing a B70 in his SCM 50m *** of 25.94 in Stockholm. Now Jim, if someone can do 25 in breaststroke!!!, don't sell yourself short; you should be able to do 22 in free with one of these suits. Ian.

I have just beaten Paul Wolf in the 50 freestyle. Huh? And does this formula also include such variables as time in training? Or heck, even cross sectional resistance? Drag? Moment of intertia? Gravitational effects? Keep dreaming Jim.

You are correct, Paul! I did forget to factor in cross sectional resistance. One second. Tap tap tap. Tap. Tap tap tap tap. Okay, press enter. Mmm hmm. Borrow the one, subtract the seven, take the cube root of the coefficient squared divided by... Oh. My. God! Paul, I am not going to tell you what the recalculated figures show because I know it will upset you. On an unrelated note, I have not felt so thrilled by a virtual swimming race conquest in years. My friend, let's call him Saul Lupine, is going to be absolutely devastated if he ever finds out how badly I've beaten him, on paper, in the 50 free. He must never find out!

Leonard, it probably is delusional, but I am hoping to purchase one of the NEW B70 suits, the ones with the little propellers concealed in the crotch and armpits where FINA testers are unlikely to look. I am sure that some "purists" will consider this "cheating" but "I" am not "one" of them, especially when it comes to "lapping" the likes of "Kristina" Ulveling in a 25"k". I think I actually may need to turn down my dopamine pill a bit....
