Speedo Powerplus Prime Tech Suit hot or not

 









Hello everyone! Today, I will be reviewing the Speedo Powerplus Prime Kneeskin Tech suit. This review is unsponsored and is simply my own personal opinion on the suit. 

This suit was my first tech suit. I purchased it last February when I was preparing for a qualifying meet, it cost around $170 which is fairly inexpensive for a kneeskin. I had been doing a lot of research to find a suit that would fit my specific needs, which were...

1. Hydrophobic fabric in order to repel water and reduce drag

2.  Compression

3. Fairley high necked

In all honesty, I am not that fast of a swimmer, so I did not need a super advanced and expensive tech suit because it would not make that much of a difference in my performance. The swimmer makes the suit, not the other way around. As far as sizing goes, I sized down 1 size and bought a 30. My typical Jolyn size is a 32, and I possibly should have sized down to a 28, but you live and you learn. For reference, I am 5'5, about 142 lbs., 26 inch waist, 37 inch bust, and 60 inch inseam and am overall in good shape and very athletic. 

I ordered the blue color for this suit and thought it was much prettier in person. I did need the help of a few teammates to get the suit on, but once it was on it was pretty comfortable, I did not have any issues with the shoulders digging in, which is a common complaint for tech suits. 

Overall I was very happy with my purchase- I dropped time in everything I swam. I have only worn this suit once (Granted I swam the 100 Back, 50 Fr, and the 1650) so I can't say much as to how long lasting this suit is. I am looking forward to competing in it again once all this Covid crap is over and will update this review in the future! 

Overall, I give this suit a ★★★★★/★★★★★

HOT OR NOT: Sporti Adult Kickboard

 Hello everyone, today I will be reviewing the Sporti Adult Kickboard. You can find it on Swimoutlet.com (or by clicking  here .) Please note this post is not sponsored in any way, shape, or form and is simply me stating my opinion.  This is the Kickboard itself from the Swimoutlet website, as you can see it is very vibrant colored. It comes in a variety of colors, and I believe there is also a smaller version of this kickboard- perfect for young swimmers! It is more flexible material than some of the other kickboard brands (such as speedo), but it does not affect the performance of the board. It is pretty affordable for a kickboard, and again I love that it comes in a wide variety of colors. My only complaint is that the Sporti logo on my kickboard has smudged and doesn't look as good as it did when I originally bought it, however this kickboard has been well loved (2 years!) In my opinion, this kickboard is defiantly HOT ! I rate it ★★★★★

It will also get you in the habit of keeping your head down.  You may want to take sporadic breaks throughout practice because you will get extremely out of breath- this is 100% okay! Just try and work on something such as kicking breastroke so that your muscles do not cool dow...
