Question

What is a legskin swim suit? is it ok for my brother? aren't they like tights?

Answer 1

Serious competitive swimmers, male and female, wear them to get the best possible times.  They're hard to get on, expensive, and wear out quickly, so they wouldn't make sense except for serious competition.  They are skintight like tights.

If you're thinking you're brother shouldn't wear them because guys shouldn't wear tights, the legskin suits are fine for male swimmers, just like male athletes in other sports wear tights for other reasons.

If you're thinking he could just wear regular tights instead, that wouldn't work.  The suits look similar, but they're a very high-tech design, nothing like regular tights in how they work in the water.

Answer 2

Ya Its ok. A leg-skin suit is also known as a fast skin. A fast-skin creates less drag and makes you swim faster. : )

Answer 3

its fine for your brother. Its just a suit that is like tights on your legs. Its supposed to be 4 championship meets and create less drag.

Answer 4

Unless he is on a swim team and trying to qualify for AAU junior championships or the Olympics, this kind of swimsuit is unnecessary. Very expensive, only for competition and the competition had better be important, not youth team or high school.
