Just curious. What % would you estimate wore the "fastskin" slippery suits? What % shaved? For those of you who wore conventional swimwear did you feel at a disadvantage?
I taped and shaved for nationals in Cleveland. I'm primarily a breaststroke/butterfly swimmer and had 3 personal best swims in the 200 Breaststroke, 200 Butterfly & 200 IM in a "speedo brief" suit. I don't feel disadvantage without wearing the new "body suits".
I do see a lot more men wearing the new suits, especially sprint & distance freestylers.
It would be interesting to look at the replay video from the meet and get some actual numbers of how many people wore the new suits. Did they keep the video feed on tape ?
