How tight do you wear your suits?

[Captain.Jammer]

Ok, so some of you know I wear jammers for swimming. I do not swim regularly or competitively, but do like my suits rather snug, as you may have seen in some of my gear pics.

But I am inquiring about your racer cut 'speedo' suits that most of you wear.
How tight do you wear them, and why?

Be aware that I have never been a real swimmer, so I am not knowledgeable in such a thing, if there is a standard for when racing, or whatever.

Taking that into consideration, maybe I need a third question as to in what situation? (Such as competitive swimming, practice laps, leisure swimming, and sunbathing/socializing situations , perhaps?)

Thanks for your responses.
