Okay finsihed a long swim yesterday-it was supposed to be 8 miles, turned in to over 9 (a swap in support crew caused this one but at least I got to swim). Here's the thing, I'm always having trouble with my suits. I prefer 2pc workut bikinis. I chose a suit I had worn for 2 longer training swims that was not that old. Halfway through the swim the top got loose and started sliding around and rolling up-all the way up. The third time it rolled i just pulled it off and asked for my spare. This is not the first time my suit particularly the top, has failed but it was newer than most. So what suits work and last and don't chafe? This was a speedo, I've also ahd Tyr's fail so who is making a true long distance suit?? SD

    I do use sunscreen-Bullfrog usually one pieces seem to chafe too much, I have a long torso and scoliosis so i have a bit more upper body movement/rotation than normal. I wonder if its the bullfrog, I sue a lot of it but what else could I use?
