Swimmers,
I am contemplating which suit to buy. I am mainly a breaststroker and have been looking at the Fastskin Pro vs the Fastskin II. Anyone with any experience as to which one is better. Any problems with either of these? The last competition suit I wore was in 1995, a "paper suit".
For me 1-3 seconds per 50, and the distance doesn't matter. So in a 200 I would swim anywhere from 4-12 seconds faster. Significant enough for me to buy the suit.
Last September I swam 200 *** (SCM) in 3:12 with a TYR tech suit. In October with a B70, 3:00. (I can't remember the tenths). I did not taper and had not been swimming much, had bronchitis and my dog died (the perfect storm for swimming poorly). Put on the suit and swam a lot better than I deserved to (ie not much work put in beforehand).
