| I tried the place in Kensington last summer and they didn’t have any tech suits in the store. Def call before you go. |

I don't think Sport Fair lets you try them on - but maybe I'm remembering incorrectly. The girl was so rude when we asked about tech suits I'm not sure I'd recommend you going there anyway.....
My daughter just asked her teammates who had tech suits what they did for sizing (it seems each brand does it a bit differently - one size down/true to size/etc). We ordered the "entry level" Arena and it has been a great suit..... |

| Metro Swim Shop does tech suit fittings. There is a Fairfax location we go to but there might be other locations |

Sports Fair lets you try them on. We’ve been there multiple time and always get a very rude HS student that thinks she knows everything.
Metro Swim Shop has much better customer service and fitting. It is worth the farther drive. |

+1, we went to Metro for a tech suit fitting and they were great. |

| We have always had great service at Sports Fair. Never a high schooler, and always knowledgeable. |

| Sportsfair sold us the wrong size tech suit after DD trying it on and then “checking” it. Luckily my DD asked friends about their sizing before she wore it. We were able to go back to sports fair, try a smaller size. Sports fair gave store credit and then we bought the right size |

| Putting in another plug for Jill at Metro Swim in Fairfax if you’re willing to make the drive. She is very thorough with measurements and recommendations. They have decent sales during major meet season; Call first to check inventory. |

You are lucky. We’ve probably been over 20 times in over the last few years and always get high school kids. If we didn’t have to go to them for club merchandise, I would only go to Metro. |

| Cap Sport and Swim is great but they don’t carry the 13& over racing suits. |
