Speedo Female LZR Elite Recordbreaker Knee Reviews

By MEEPS from PA on 3/8/2013

Size: Feels too small

This suit is cut small in the bust, Narrow. Everywhere else felt fine. I was uncomfortable, felt it showed too much side "boobage" and I might pop out . 34D. Ordered a 27L. 28 would have been too loose everywhere else.  Returned it. 5''9", 145 lbs. Narrow waist, average hips. Ordered a Rocket Science, Tyr Apr12 and Arena Carbon Pro trying to find the right fit. Had always been a TYR girl, kept the Arena. Needed a suit for districts.

This is a FANTASTIC suit! My advise is to go down several sizes from your practice size: these suits are supposed to be quite tight. Putting it on the first time will definitely take the longest, and you may even need someone to help you like I did. Take it nice and slow and make sure you have plenty of time (my first time took half an hour). It will continually get looser each time you put it back on, and it doesn''t last very long, however, these suits are not designed to last forever. I have worn mine a total of 6 days, which included a total of 19 races. I wore it to my high school league and CHSAA state, and then for club Senior State where I qualified for Far Western Zones. It''s getting a bit too loose now and I may have to get another before zones. Wearing it, I dropped tons of time, but I would certainly not attribute all of my achievements on the suit, there was definitely a lot of intense training involved too! It''s a fast suit and I completely feel like the price was worth it. I recommend this to competitive swimmer teens (I got this as a 15 year old). I don''t think people should invest in this kind of elite suit until they get a bit older and more advanced in swimming. Overall, an exceptional purchase.

My daughter used her new suit at a Regional meet - it fit perfectly, she felt confident in it, and truly had a recordbreaking swim meet! This kneeskin cleaned up well (hand washed) and she''ll be ready to use it again at her champs meet.  Swim outlet shipped it on time, it arrived in great condition - no complaints.  Will definitely use this website, and the product again!

My daughter is 140lbs 5''6" and usually competes in a size 32 suit.  She is very muscular especially in her legs and shoulders.  We used the size guide measurements to pick the best size.  We tried 27, 27L, and 28 and found the 28 fit the best.   Be patient!  The suit truly takes about 15 min to put on and she needed another person to get the straps over her shoulders.  Her first use of the suit was high school state championships and shaved 1.5 seconds off her 50 free and 2 seconds off her 100 free.   Sprinters know that shaving 100ths of a second off is big but to shave seconds off is major!   She placed 2nd overall in both events.   This suit is big bucks but we got big benefits.

This is the best competition suit!  My daughter is a great age group swimmer and wears this suit every chance she gets.  It does improve speed as the water rolls off this material.  We''ve tried others, but she likes this one best.  She can even get it on by herself now.  It''s a tight fit, but none of it will ever bag or create drag in the water!

Size: Feels too big

Too loose in the thighs and lower butt, even for a pear shaped person. Straps felt really right but OK once wet.
I think this suit will deteriorate slower than the blue seventy which all felt apart at the thigh line.

I got this suit along with an arena. I love this one more while swimming in it. This suit is easy to get up past my butt, but the straps and top are a little harder, however this might be because I was too afraid to rip it. The first time I wore this was for my championship meet and I was swimming the mile. Going into and out of my walls were super smooth. Also, when I swim breaststroke in this doing a pull out is so much fun to do. I have had it for about 1 yr. and some and it is just now wearing out - but I tried to only wear it during distance events, so I wasn't wearing it too frequently.

my only complain is that the straps are a little tight and leave marks, so when i was not swimming I had to put my warm up suit on and pull my straps down.
