Last Saturday l swam a 23.76 in the 200 free relay (i was first leg) and l was wearing a tracer light (basically the same as an fs-pro). my question is how much faster could l have gone with a lzr racer rather than the fs-pro?

(i forgot to mention the tracer was a legskin)

tracer light is a pretty good suit..
but but the lzr racer does is it has material that prevents it from getting wet as fast as the other suits..which means you will be lighter.
the difference is not THAT noticable in short distance races..but for long distances, you can shave off at least a second or two.
for ur 50..
you could probably go a 23.5 or a 23.4 max with the lzr racer.

nice job! which age group are u in, cuz i'm seriously jealous of you right now. 23.76? thats amazing! (for me anyway :) ) a LZR Racer can shed your time by maybe another half second to a second.

congrats on ur time! did ur team win?

a lzr probably wont drop you too much time in just your 50 freestyle. it would also depend on if you're getting a body or just legs for the lzr. id say that if you're looking for a good new suit, get the blue70 because it costs less than a lzr and lasts 40 races as opposed to 4 or 5 for the lzr. another suit to look at is the tyr tracer rise.
