Awesome racing suit. I'm usually a 28 in practice suits, even once in a while a 26. For this suit we were told that it's not necessarily supposed to be "comfortable", it's supposed to be tight! This will help you drop more time. So for this suit I purchased a 22. It's been a great buy! Make sure that you since it in cold water after you wear it.

I purchased this suit a long time ago, about 2 years. I am a very competitive swimmer and have other competition suits besides the aquablade, i have a fastskin and a blueseventy kneeskin. This is the poorest out of all of them but it is defanately a good buy. it lasted about a year only at swim meets, and i also wear practice suit to small meets, but this suit is better than them. Don't year it to often or it won't last very long.

I have an 11 year old swimmer with all 11/12 USA BB times or higher depending on the event. She just came away from a meet where 1/3 of the girls her age were wearing razers and fast skins. She wanted to purchase a "faster" suit but did not want to spend the money for a suit that would only have maximum performance for only 5 meets. Nor did she want to purchase a suit that could rip easily. She was spending her own money and wanted to make a good age appropriate buying decision. Her coach, who also works for a company that sells swimwear, told her that Aquablades and Fusions would last up to 2 years if she cared for them properly and only wore them for meets (NEVER wash it or shower in it; just rinse in cool water. Washing with soap takes away the materials ability to wick away water). She decided to purchase an Aquablade and a TYR Fusion. She opted to try the Aqauablade first. She had just swam a big meet the weekend before in a "fast pool" wearing her team suit which is a speedo quantum splice. She received 5 out of 7 best times at that meet. The following weekend she wore the Aquablade at a small meet in a warm pool just to see if it would really help improve times. Normally she says it feels like swimming in jello in that pool and her times hardly ever drop when she swims in that pool. She walked away with 5 best times which included 3 improvements from BT's the previous weekend. She had a 5 second drop in her 200 free and a 3 second drop in her 100 IM (both BT events from the previous weekend). It could have been psychological but I would say the reduced drag definitely helped. She loves it and is very glad she purchased it. She is going to try the Fusion out at her next meet. She decided she would wait till she was 13/14 to get the more expensive suits and then only if she was close to the top of her age group. She wears a 28 practice suit. She is 4'10" with an athletic build (looks more like a gymnast than a swimmer). We ordered a 24 and a 26 in both Aquablade and Fusion. 24's way too small; couldn't get it on. 26's fit perfect; nice and snug. She also said, when you dive in the water the Aquablade feels like it is compressing your insides. Supposedly the feeling goes away as you swim. We likened it to "apparating" from land to water (Harry Potter fans!) and had a good laugh! Look for Fusion review after next weekend!
