Finis Suit

These are unheard of prices in technical suits.  Many of the Rice University swimmers have worn this same suit and it compares well to the Speedo Lazer and other technical suits.  If you have wanted a technical suit, but didn't want to pay the ridiculus prices then here is your chance. Email your size and we will bill you online.  I suggest you order the same size suit you normally wear or even down size by one.  They are compression suits and are supposed to be snug.
Finis, a swim wear producer, maker of the commonly used snorkel is overstocked in their championship technical suits, The Hydrospeed Velo.  I am putting in an order on Thursday afternoon if you would like a suit. The women's knee suit retails for $300 and our cost will be $120.  The men's jammer suit retails for $200 and our cost will be $80. 


Age Group Swimmers should first speak with Coach Jason prior to ordering a suit.
