I know there are many of you out there with strong feelings against technical suits. While I respect your opinions, I am wanting to try a technical suit for the SCY 2011 state/national meets. What I am looking for here are suggestions, tips, and/or recommendations from people who are using technical suits as to what I should be looking for - other than "FINA approved". If you have any advice for someone looking to buy her first technical suit, please let me know. If it makes a difference, I am focusing on mainly freestyle and fly.
Thanks!
The Fusion 2 has been fine for me. In my case I normally wear a 38 for practice but in a tech suit I usually go down to a 34. I also keep a 36 around just for longer races. I find I don't want as much compression on the 1650 or 1000 races since they are so long so I opt for a 36 for those races then change into a 34 or when I am under 170 I will drag out my old 32.
Since my weight varies sometimes I have several different suits at different sizes for different races.
For your first outing pay the extra and get fitted for the right suit, every body is different and so are the suits.
