Subject: RE: Training swimsuit helpAnother SwimOutlet fan here..... I will ONLY buy 100% Poly suits. I've been on a swim team for 4 years, and for a few weeks, the pool I was at had seriously over-chlorination problems. The the point where the hair on my arms got dissolved and my velcro watch band disintegrated. My poly suit was unaffected. My personal use record for a poly suit is 1.5 years. Its actually still fine, I just got tired of the design and I've lost weight so it was starting to get a bit loose. I prefer the Speedo Poly suits over TYR. There is/was piping on the TYR suits that would fade/stretch over time. The Speedo Flip-Turns suits are fun and cheap(er), but IMO, they aren't as good as the traditional Speedo Endurance suits. The straps in the back of the Flip-Turns suits stretch out quickly - mostly because they're not attached to a middle patch of fabric for stability. If you hunt, you can find Endurance suits for $45. SwimOutlet is a good resourse, as is your local swim shop that's clearing out old suits. |
