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!
The new version of hand me downs,the smallest swimmer buys the suit,wears it for a meet then gives it to the next larger swimmer.A team could get several meets out of one suit.
I do wonder what some people consider stretched out.My first LZR goes on much easier,but it is still a struggle to zip up and would be uncomfortable to wear very long after 5 meets.
