Hi,

Everyone has a personal preference when it comes to swimwear so you will have to experiment and see what works best for you.

Here are a couple of discussions that might give you some useful info:

Answer 3

It depends on what kind of race you are swimming, zones, sectionals, nationals, worlds, etc.

I dont really recommend the endurance suit as a racing suit, but if you want to, sure.

Speedo pretty good with racing suits. I would say you could buy the LZR, but its very costly. Almost all the olympic swimmers wore LZRs in Beijing. If your willing to buy the LZR that would be awsome, because I heard at the USA trials, most of the WR were broken with LZRs, so i guess LZRs do help alot...

I have a FS2, also known as fastskin 2. You can buy it at Speedo.com.

I like it becuase with a fastskin, the fabric is thin (no, no,no not see through) and becuause of that, it creates less drag in the water, unlike practice suits, they are compared thicker than the FS2. I've dropped a teeny bit of time with my FS2, or for some people, almost none at all.

Hope that helps :)

I would recommend Speedo Endurance. Here is the Speedo site.

Same thing but cheaper at Kiefer and Swimoutlet.

Endurance suits can last a few years, rather than 6 months or less for a lycra suit.
