[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a weird tangent for this thread to go down.  Out of curiosity, I typed the word "kneeskin swimsuit" into Google and got dozens of returns for suits under $100 from sites like swimoutlet, swim2000, and even Speedo.  Seems like there are options for kneeskins that aren't breaking the bank and not just a one-off thrift store find.[/quote]

This is so lazy. Yes, the speedo website has vanquishers for $70.  But not in the sizes that any of our children would wear.     It’s like saying you can get air Jordans for $50 because Nike has Air Jordan baby booties show up on your Google search.[/quote]

And the crazy continues.  Sorry I didn't do your shopping for you.  Swimoutlet has girls Powerskin for $74 in a size 20.  A size 20 equates to a 29" chest, 21" waist, 31.5" hip, and 51.5" torso.  You can order it by placing it in your cart, selecting pay with credit card and then putting in your personal information.

If you prefer, you can also order the TYR Fusion 2 for $91.  That is in sizes 22-38 so hopefully one of those will fit a size a child would wear.

Speedo site has the vanquesher for $70.  They have it in sizes 16, 18, 32, 34, and 36.

Swim2000 has the Nike Hydra in sizes 22, 24, 28, 30, 32 for $52.

The lazy (and the crazy) here is you.  [/quote]

You don’t understand how this works or girls sizes.

-if Nike suits were any good, people would wear them. Nobody has ever bought a Nike racing suit.  Nice try.

-Those vanquisher sizes are the ones that won’t fit your kids.  But silver lining, they will fit a 200 lb, fully grown woman.

-TYR fusion for $91 is a whole lot closer to the around $100 that I mentioned this morning than the $50 that crazy lady mentioned.

-The first powerskin I bought my average size 9 year old was a size 24, so size 20 is going to fit 8 & unders.  But please link that one for any of the 7 year-old parents that are thiiiis close to making that first A meet.

Sorry but you don’t know how tech suit sizing works. My 16 year old, 5’5”, 117lb DD wears a size 20 Speedo tech suit. [/quote]
