Lots of great comments! Thank you for your feedback!
I have been in contact with
TYR and the suit is available and will remain at the same cost as
our other suit assuming the quantities are the same. They are
sending one so we can see how the logo fits on the front. The
bright green cap is not available in silicone... still working on
that!
LRW Competition Swim Suit and Cap
Recommendations
These recommendations have been developed in order to provide
swimming families with a clear understanding about LRW team suits
and also to give some guidance about the acquisition of suits for
individual swimmers. Swimming provides many areas of opportunity
and growth because of its dual nature; being both an individual and
a team sport. We recognize the successes of each individual member
of LRW and we value the strength of the team as a whole. Wearing
team suits and/or caps at swim meets is one way that we express our
team spirit and unity.
Swim Suits &
caps
Swimmers are encouraged to wear LRW designated team suits &
caps at swim meets.
If a swimmer decides to wear a speed suit or fast cap. We request
that these be as close to team suit/cap color(s) as
possible.
Relays: Swimmers are
encouraged to wear team suits and caps for relays.
Suit Sizing & Acquisition Guidance: Sizing: In
general, it is recommended that competition suits be 1 to 2 sizes
smaller than training suits. Larger suits create ’drag’
in the water and slow the swimmer down. For team suit sizing from TYR
click the - Sizing Chart
Wear: Competition suits should not be worn at team
practices because they become worn out and loose.
Inexpensive practice suits may
be bought from the following web sites (click on the links):

The best deals are the ’grab bag suits’ from Speedo or

The following points are all important in understanding the
applicability of the restriction to only
allow one swimsuit at a time during competition:
• The restriction applies only to actual competition (i.e. a
race).
Swimmers may wear more than one suit during warm-up and warm-down
as well as around the pool
deck between their actual races.
• Swimmers may use as many different suits as they desire
during any particular swim meet or any
particular day during a swim meet and may change those suits as
often as they desire as long as they do not wear more than one
swimsuit at a time during their actual competitive events
