LZR Racer Fitting
This isn't easy! Part of the success of the LZR Racer is the very tight fit that it creates and the core stabilizer, so inevitably the fitting will be difficult: anticipate taking around 40/45 minutes the first time around (this should improve drastically after a few fittings - Australia's Top swimmers take between 5 & 10 minutes.
Please see the above charts - the chest measurement and body loop are the best starting points - try and go for something as close to those two.
LZR Racer Body Loop - use a tape measure to measure the length of the circumference created by running the tape between the legs and over the shoulder to create a loop - can be on either side of the body. The loop should pass over the shoulder in the same position as where a T-Shirt collar would sit.
You will need to use plastic bags over the feet before pushing your legs through the leg hole - this in itself will be a challenge on any of the body or leg suits. Make Sure before the leg is inserted, that the front and back of the swimsuit are angled correctly - don't start off wrong. One leg over the knee, then the other leg is best. The material can very easily be snagged by long (especially acrylic) nails, or other sharp pieces of jewellery - take them off, or get somebody else to help. Use the pads of your fingers. to clench the material and pull it over the skin. Swimmeroo will not accept any returned suits with pulls from sharp objects.
The toughest part of the fitting will be getting the suit over the hips, but once there - you are on the home straight! The core stabilizer is developed to stick your bum in the air when you are swimming, so it is going to be intrinsically awkward (you'll appreciate it on the last length!) You need to get this over you midrift.
You will need a friend to pull the zip for you, if it is a body suit. Pulling up the Zip you should be very careful not to let any of the zip teeth be out of place, as this is what will cause the embarrasing and race blowing 'wardrobe malfunction'! Hold the sides of the zip together as you pull up the zip. If you can run fingers up the length of the zip without any bulges - you are in correctly. The zip has a clipdown locking device, make sure you use it.
You shouldn't be able to pull the suit from your body anywhere - it should be a very tight fit. Anticipate having a few wrinkles down the side of the suit - these should disappear when you put your arms above your head in the streamlined position - remember that is the shape you will be in for most of your swimming. If you struggle for any movement or the suit is too constricting and you are 'out of your comfort zone' then you probably need a larger suit. Guys - if small looks as though it will be too big (that is what Eamon O'Sullivan wears) don't be afraid or embarrased to go for a ladies size. Several members of the Australian Mens Swim Team have ladies suits, as they fit better (they prefer to remain anonymous though!) There is hardly any difference in the cut and as the ladies suits are made to re-shape their bodies (sort of turning them into men!) these suits are fine for smaller men.
You're now ready to go out and do your best time ever!
Suit Care: Rinse it thorougly. DON"T screw it all up in a towel and stuffit in the bottom of your bag. They are best laid out flat to dry naturally. Don't spin dry, don't dry clean, don't freeze. Care for them and they will last a lot longer - most International Swimmers are getting upto 20 races. |
