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!

In reply to Ande, I used my Speedo Endurance Training suit, the only suit I currently own that's any good for swimming...
Thanks for your opinion on the B70! That's good to know! :)
I've been wearing the same Speedo Endurance suit (until recently when I got a FS Pro Jammer for meets) in practice, OW events, and meets for over a year! They do last forever.
If you want to use a tech suit before the June 1 cutoff see if you can find the $20 FINIS or a $100 B70. Personally, I just ordered a B70 Nero Comp and I also have a Speedo LZR Full Body I got through a "connection".
