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?
Allen,
You did not say which fastskin you have, there are 4-5 models. If you have the full body suit that covers totally the arms and legs, it will not help breaststroke.
I have the version with material down to the knees, but the arms are free. Actually the best range of motion for the shoulders of any full body suit I have tried. It did cost a fortune, and it takes 30 minutes to get in. But I feel it is worth every cent I paid for it.
Looking at the 2000 Olympics, the breaststroke men did not use the full body suits available, like the thorpedo did. None covered their arms or lower legs.
