| Looking for some guidance from parents experienced with 13+ tech suits for their swimmer. I have a 13 year old boy so we are new to the "real" tech suit options. Our team uses Speedo, so from what I can gather, our main options are the LZR Pro (cheaper), LZR Valor, and LZR Intent. I am hearing from teammates that the Intent is best for sprinters and my son does more mid-distance and distance (although he does a few 100s as well). Of note, he is still small/skinny and has not had a major growth spurt. I am not sure how much "compression" is needed for his current body and how effective a tech suit is before much physical development. If you have been there with your swimmer or have experience with any of these suits, can you please advise? He has only a few days to sort it out before champs and I have been procrastinating on this decision about whether a higher level suit is worth it at this point. |

| Best is to try them on. Each fits differently and the depending on what they swim, they may want more or less compression. |
