[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your kid's primary sport Swimming, if so, you should make sure that they have the proper equipment.  At 13 most swimmers are wearing tech suits when they race.   A parent told me this once and it made sense to me.  Let your kid pick the suit that they think works best for their events and bodies and tell them you will get them one per season, so they need to take care of it and not ruin it. It is part of the cost of being a club swimmer.  [/quote]

A $400 suit every season... no way.[/quote]
The equipment for other sports is equally, if not more, expensive. For swimmers, especially the top level ones, a tech suit is part of their equipment. [/quote]

I swam competitively then as a masters before tech suits. A lot of triathletes who weren't necessarily great swimmers used to spend a fortune on cycling gear and running shoes. It used to frustrate them that the only thing they could do for swimming was to train harder.  Now swimming can join the ranks of cycling with expensive equipment.[/quote]
