So - I almost did my PR in 100 Free at age 41 in 2009 - so I know the suits are 'good' - but how much faster are those current suits - tried to find info - and I couldn't - only research seemed to have been from large suits. So - I am gonna test it !! 25s - sorry can't do 50s yet in all out repeats that allow comparison.
Another reason(s) for me to test is 1) I can't do underwater ...yet ...so suits may work more for underwater swimmers 2) not happy but I got a lot more lose skin than a 20 year old... does that make a difference 3) I am a numbers guy ... its a project, I will enjoy it and so on...
First judgement on expensive Speedo suit - its way way tooooo tight !! I checked the size and measure 5 times, it took me 3 attempts to get it on - I could not bend properly and blood supply seemed limited - I took it off 30 min ago and my hip / leg area is still not happy ... either I got the size totally wrong or its just silly tight and I would never be able to swim in this fast...
Right now my test sample is 4x25 on 6-8 minutes interval --- 3 days --- One day with reg suit to see if there is a decline / Day 2 Using suit on 2nd and 3rd 25 only / Day 3 using suit on 1st and 4th 25 only .... not sure yet I can do 3 days in a row - my sprints do make me tired.
Any feedback or better ideas ??
