I am a new Masters swimmer, 48 years old, who will be competing in my first meet on March 27 & 28. I haven't competed since 1979 and wasn't that fast then (100yd breaststroke 1:19.6). I don't know my current 100yd breaststroke time, however, my timed 50yd breaststroke diving in from the edge of the pool (no blocks available) was :42.
It has been suggested to me in another thread that I purchase a tech suit for meets. How much time will this save me in short races? I am on a budget and would like use my Speedo Endurance Training suit I purchased on clearance, at least until I get better!
Thanks!
It is definitely worth it if you want to swim fast. Don't listen to D2, he is completely anti-tech suit.
I dropped 8 sec in my 200 br last March (and I had bronchitis). It does make a difference.
The B70 is good for $100, but I'm more for the FINIS Aqua-something or other for $60. I think it's a bit faster than the B70.
If you have the money, I would do it without any question. It's fun to swim fast (assisted or not).
