Whoa, a 32 is big girl size. I wore a size 32 when I was 180 lbs (size 10-12) pant. You realize this is a size 8-10 misses pant not juniors and you should go down a pant size Most girls your height weigh 140 and wear a 28 size 6 clothes. When I weighed 145 I wore a 26 but I am 5'10. I would say no bigger than a 26, don't even consider a 28 unless you want it for drag in practice. So I am guessing you are a size 2-4 and should wear a 24-26. Look at the tag on the suit a 34 is a 10, 32 is a 8, 30 is a 6, 28 is a 4, 26 a 2.
For competitive swimming you should always have TWO suits, one for practise's and one for competition. We also need to keep in mind that most suits are designed to loosen up in the water
Practise Suits: these suits are allowed to have a little drag and you do not want them to be too tight. So probably your 32 would be fine. These suits should be comfortable to wear while swimming.
Competition Suits: These suits should be pretty tight, but breath able. A smaller suit will definitely decrease drag and slim down the body to make it more aerodynamic. When trying on these suits you want to look for ones that do NOT allow you too pull the straps up to your ears. If you can easily do this than the suit is to big.
The only way to find a suit that fits you right is to go to a store and try them on because we (yahoo answers users) cannot accurately give you an exact size
Stretch and drag are the two issues you want to think about. If you're going to be swimming seriously competitive, then you might want to think about the fastskins or LZRs if your league permits them. It's what a lot of the Olympic guys wear now - it cuts down the drag considerably in the pool and they fit like a glove. BUT they are expensive. As you can see here, the jammers are worth about $112: http://www.swim-faster.com/
A lot of competitive guys still use the speedo briefs and they are very reliable. A general rule of thumb is go for a size smaller than your pant size because of the stretch. When you first put them on, they'll be very tight, but once you're in the water and working you'll find they'll stretch.
I'll include another link that has some helpful information.
Good luck and let us know how you make out.
Cheers!
Since suits stetch out in water, you should get a size that fits TIGHTLY, but not too tight that you can't move. Don't get whatever size is actually your size, get a size smaller, but only if it fits. Don't forget, it will stretch out!
as tight as you can go and still breathe lol after you swim a few times it will strtah to fit your body good
my coach used to pull at the but part if she had a lot of material it was to big
for meets, get a 30, maybe even a 28. for practices, get a 32. dont use the same suit for both.
Get a suit that is a size smaller than you normally would. When swimming on a team competitively, suits stretch out so fast.
pick whichone makes you feel most comfortable.
