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!
Off topic, but why can't guys wear the same yardage suits as women now rather than go back to jammers ??
Think of it this way. Typically, in practice, women wear tanks and men wear briefs. The leg coverage of the tech suits (jammers men, kneeskin women) give both genders the same extra coverage for meets. Giving men double extra coverage would therefore be unfair.
You and Jimby will just have to suppress your desire to dress like women.
On another note, a friend forwarded me this link re: womens FS3:

This says supposedly you're supposed to wear the FS3 6-8 x before the target race.
