Arena Women's Powerskin ST 2.0 Open Back Tech Suit Swimsuit

I bought this last-minute tech suit for a championship meet and it was awesome! Other tech suits cost sooooo much money but this one was inexpensive yet super fast. However, it does feel different than an expensive tech suit meaning it doesn’t slide through the water quite as easily (but that’s how all 12&under tech suits are designed- and why they are so much cheaper). I (5’10, 125 lbs) bought a size 26, I probably could have sized down in the body because it was so easy to put on (5-10 minutes, did it by myself no problem) but the shoulder straps were very hard to get on- I ripped the shoulder seam a little just the first time I put it on, but that was probably due to my height (still wearable and didn’t affect anything). Many other people on deck were wearing the same suit, probably because of the great price AND performance. I believe that this is THE BEST DEAL for a 12&under suit, first tech suit, or last-minute suit. I would totally recommend as a starter suit because there’s less pressure if you rip it, you can learn how to properly size it/put it on/wear it and it’s super durable. I really hope that this helped!

These suites never disappoint! I have two competitive swimmers - ages 13&15, 125-130lbs, 5’7 & 5’8, both wear 26 in this suit with is 2 sizes below their practice suit size. It’s a great middle of the road suit, not what they call a “techie-tech suit” like the taped seams suits they might choose to wear at a high stakes meet but an excellent suit for most competitions. My distance swimmer particularly likes this suit for the 500+ events. Each suit usually lasts them a full SC or LC season - much longer than a taped seam suit for sure. Highly recommend!
