TYR Suits for NCAP

[Anonymous]

Has anyone found a swim store to try on TYR suits? We haven't been able to make the fittings that NCAP offers and not sure if they will be offering more.

SportFair? No experience there, but friends have even been able to try on tech suits.

Sportfair doesn't carry TYR unfortunately.

Sportfair does not carry TYR, but try Metro Swim Shop. The challenge is whether they even have the sizes in store for you to try. Our club team facilitates a tech suit sizing with TYR in late Oct. Maybe that's not possible given that we're well into November, but maybe something to suggest for next season. Worst case, I've had to multiple sizes from swimoutlet and go from there.

Okay, thanks. I had the same thought, order a bunch of suits from somewhere I can return them.

Just know that SwimOutlet has pretty strict stated rules for tech suit return. The suit must be “unworn and untried”, so technically they can deny a return if they can tell it’s been tried on. I don’t know how that plays out in reality, but I was VERY careful to use proper measurements the two times I ordered one from them.

Metro Swim Shop supposedly does an amazing job with fittings. I’d recommend going there if you can.

Crossing fingers, but I've never had an issue with returning tech suits to SwimOutlet. When my kids try them on, i tell them to be super careful, etc. etc.

This has been our experience with Metro Swim Shop and it is now our preferred source. Not worth the hassle trying to do it online to save a few bucks.

Anyone else’s kids hate the TYR suites? Most of my swimmer’s group is holding onto their Speedos as long as they can.

My kids don't love them. They seem like good quality, but they run small.

We're not with NCAP, but are these practice suits that they are being encouraged to race in, or is the team branding the tech suits?

NCAP is now sponsored by Tyr. Assuming the requirements are similar to the Speedo sponsorship in prior years (my kid has since graduated so I haven't seen the handbook for this year), it means NCAP swimmers must wear Tyr suits at top level meets like KLI, Zones, PVS Champs, etc. unless granted an exception based on a professional fitting with a company rep. For practices and "lower level" meets (Opens, Turkey Claus, and the like) swimmers can wear whatever brand they want although I'm sure Tyr is preferred and the outfitting package for certain groups includes a Tyr suit meant for racing.
