Blue Seventy Nero Comp sizing

probably 24 or 26 Anybody have any thoughts on what size a female with the following measurements should get? Height: "5'10" Weight: 145 lbs. Waist: 27 Chest: 36 Hips: 36 I'm not sure about buying this suit as I think I would look really stupid. I understand folks that are near the top of Top Ten wearing these things, but I'm not that fast. I've only broken into the Top Ten only three times. This year I got 10th in 50 LC fly. I'm wondering if I got one of these suits I might actually have a chance to break into Top Ten in SCY, something I've never done.

Thanks, Ande. Perhaps with the suit and your pointers from a couple of months ago, I can go a lifetime best. Thanks again!

hey there wondering if you could help me im interested in the b70 nero comp but im unsure of what size i should get ive seen the size guide but im a bit inbetween and wondered if you could reccommend a size for me im: 5'6" (168cm) 120lbs (54kg) 34 inch chest 28 inch waist to help a bit i have a 26 in an fs pro knee skin (but it lets water through the chest area!) also should i get a long leg or just a knee? i am an IM'er and worried that my legs will be restricted on brstroke with a long leg (theyre not with my knee) Thanks! You're pretty small, you might get in a 22. Or a 24 based on height. (I wear a 24 in a B70 and a 26 in a Pro, I'm a bit short than you.) I'm rather small in the chest area and I don't get that water flowing through problem with my B70. Most breaststrokers I know seem to really like the B70 and go faster in it than a legless suit. Might just take a bit to get used to. I prefer the long leg (fine for IMs, it seems), but I'm not a breaststroker.

I can't help with sizing - but I think the knee restriction idea is a long-standing "myth" for breaststrokers. You do lose the feel of the water on your lower legs with a full leg suit. But I think the suit is unquestionably faster for breaststrokers.

Ok thanks alot! I have a 22 and 24 on order!:)

Before your meet, wear your Blue Seventy Nero Comp several times in practice to become accustomed to it, especially on fast swims for time it may feel weird when you race like water's getting in just keep swimming fast no matter what. I trained in my suit last night for the first time as i'm competing on saturday. It felt brilliant underwater. I did suffer from water down the neck that people have warned about (especially on fly), but it didn't bother me too much. What did concern me was that my legs were much higher than normal, almost too high, and my kick when sprinting didn't feel as strong because I think I was kicking out of the water! Has anyone else had this feeling? maybe I just need to get used to it?!

Has anyone else had this feeling? maybe I just need to get used to it?! I felt the same initially about the kick, but the feeling went away pretty quickly as I got used to the suit (and probably/maybe adjusted my body position a little?) Another race pace session or two should help with that feeling. I found that the water down the neck problem was decreased by pulling the front of the suit up high under the chin. Similar to getting the legs snugged up in the crotch, gently work the body of the suit up your torso. If you leave the top of the suit below the base of the neck, it will catch water. Good luck!

quite right ande. You've got to swim the race the way you know it. Thinking about the equipment during the race will badly affect the time. And yes, I will have to wear it more in training. Cheers
