Lifelong swimmer but the shoulder strap on my left (breathing side) tends to rub my neck RAW RAW RAW on a long workout (1 mile or more).
Any advice?
Caveats:
I am super lazy and yes I breathe every stroke.
I hate conventional suits for workout (let's face it, not everyone likes to put the old crotcheroo on display all the time) so my swim top is just a workout top (Lycra with shelf bra, though straps are about as wide as standard female swimsuit). Bottoms are square leg--I get the occasional odd look, but then when I smoke 'em in my outlandish garb, they shut up reeel fast. Heh.

I don't really have a solution for you but :rofl:
Maybe try out a regular 2-piece suit? I have a long torso (aka short legs) and a 1 piece tends to pull at the neck & the crotch and I'm more prone to chafing at the neck & sides when I wear one. I find 2 pieces more comfortable. I also prefer the thin spaghetti straps to the thick ones. I've never seen anyone wearing a workout top for swimming but could it be the fabric is hickey-inducing w/ repetitive motion.
