I used this for competitions, but I'm selling it because I'm quitting swimming. It's made of a slightly rustling material, but it stretches well, making it easy to put on and take off, and it's recommended for beginners. It's a used item, so there is some wear and tear. I hope you'll use it! Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about condition! Please be sure to check the photos! Please purchase with the understanding that this is a used item.
