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!
I got really lucky with my first (and so far only) tech suit. Based on the reviews in a recent SWIMMER issue, I decided to try a suit from AGON. I used their sizing chart and ordered a Streamline Knee Length Pro-back (fully lined). I chose a Blue/Black Splice design, which they fabricated for me. It took just over 3 weeks for me to get it and it fit like a glove. And, it only cost me $91 and change including shipping.
I tried it out in the pool for a long workout and loved it, and yesterday I wore it in an OW event (see attached picture). It performed beautifully.
