Turbo swimming vs water polo suits

Post by Speedeau » Tue Sep 17, 2019 3:28 am

Hi all,

I have just noticed that Turbo sells swimming suits in parallel to their water polo suits. I wonder if anyone of you knows the difference between the two (size, comfort, coverage). I have a Turbo water polo suit but find it very thick and not very comfortable in the end... Maybe their swimming suits a bit more "flexible" and thus more comfortable?

I am particularly interested in the following one:

What do you think?

I have had a couple of the swim suits. I think the main difference is that the swim suits are only lined at the front. That said I did not think that they suited me, so not for me!
Be careful of pale colours when wet!

Thanks, think they do look good, but they were not the most comfortable, lacking stretch. Sides are quite wide too, the pale blue ones have the waist rolled down.

I know what you are saying. My turbo swimbrief is the same. But I still like them. I am starting to lean to budgy Smuggler more at the moment.

So even the turbo normal swimbrief (not the water polo) is lacking stretch? Budgy Smuggle have the name of their brand printed very big on the back which I don't really like... Anyway thanks for the tips.
