Swam in my first meet this past weekend in over 20 yrs and have a question.
I swam with my "jammer" suit I practice in, just an everyday Tyr suit, feels pretty tight normally, but during my races this weekend I could feel it "rippling" against my thighs, obviously not tight enough.
I don't want it to turn into a "tech suit" thread, but wondered what kind of suit I should get.
I have about a 33 inch waist, and my suit it a size 34. What size should I buy? Gonna have to do it over the net because there are no swim stores around...
Thanks!!! I had a great time at the meet by the way!

Same as someone said above... an aquablade jammer is what i use for big meets. I use a regular speedo practice jammer for regular meets. About 2-3 sizes under your normal waist size should do it.
I love the Ying Fa:

Made in China, their sharkskin is comparable to almost any of the "tech suits" still legal now. (Most of the name-brand suits are a total rip-off, considering how limited the technology is by the new rules.) You can get a Ying Fa for about $30 (cheaper on Ebay, if you've got 3 weeks or so to wait for the shipment from China).
You'd probably need like a larage (which says 28-30). I got an XL and I wear a 36 in a normal, American practice suit - it was a little looser than I'd like it to be for a race.
Great fast feel to the suit and feels exactly like any of the Speedo suits. I first wore one early this year, and several guys on my team have followed suit (terrible pun intended).
