[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that is all that you have available.  Also
Be clear with your swimmers stroke specialization and events.

Backstrokers do better with closed back (honestly preferable for not strokes but harder to get in and certain curvy types) TYR is known for breaststrokers, etc.

Also check with your club.  Some clubs require certain brands over others at their high level meets. [/quote]

What does “closed back” suit mean? I goggled this and the back seems pretty open.[/quote]

Here is probably a better way to look at them.

Closed back suit.  [img]https://www.swimoutlet.com/products/speedo-womens-lzr-valor-20-closed-back-kneeskin-tech-suit-swimsuit-8219212/?color=black[/img]

And the same suit with an open back

Now, you can see if a girl has curves it can be tougher to get into the closed back but you can also see that a closed back is going to reduce drag even more than an open back which is advantageous for backstrokers.  The added compression helps with swim recovery.  My swimmer has both open back and closed back suits and for the most important of events will wear her closed back suit.  I also very much recommend getting tech suit gloves for closed back suits to put them on - actually any tech suit. It prevents accidental tears when you put them on.[/quote]
