My daughter wore this in her meet this past weekend...she took 4 seconds off her 100 Free, 3 seconds off her 50 fly and almost a second off her 50 free....we are giving the suit part of the credit!
Used in a swim meet this weekend - love the way it feels - soft and thin.Great price
Granddaughter was very pleased. Looking forward to competing in it.
I bought the Aquablades for my daughters to use as their competition suit. At first I wasn't sure of what size to purchase, because they wear the Speedo Endurance suits for practice. My youngest daughter wears a 28 in the Speedo Endurance suit, and I purchased a size 24 in the Aquablade. It fit perfectly. It's tighter than the endurance suit but we could still pull the straps up so she had room. If we had gotten the 26 in the Aquablade it probably would've bagged in the butt and been wrinkly in the stomach area. Not what you want in a competition suit. My other daughter wears a 34 in the endurance and I got her a 32 in the Aquablade. She has a more womenly body so I was concerned it would be too tight if I went any lower in size, but it was perfect as well on her! She's 5'1'' and weighs 135. I hope this helps any other mother purchasing for their daughters who are shaped differently! :0)
I used this suit for a 5 mile open water swim race, and it was great. It felt comfortable the whole time (of course at since I was swimming in salt water, I also used body glide). The suit fit well and made me feel fast.
A great meet suit at a great price! For meets when you don't want to get out the more expensive tech suit, this is a great, fast suit! A really flattering, good fit too!
