Skip, you never cease to amaze me with your knowledge of swimming minutiae, history, and lore. Question 1: does the fact that women appear to have qualified at higher rates then men support my contention that changes in FINA legal swimwear has affected men's times more deleteriously than women's? And if so, could you please communicate to dearest Leslie just how much things have changed for us fellows--and how little they have changed for the womenfolk? Skip is amazing. :dedhorse: I highly doubt that even potential male NCAA qualifiers have noticed or advanced this thesis, Jimby ... And there is one way that males can drop more time at taper than women -- shaving. Shaving makes virtually no difference for women and a huge difference for men. :-P If I can swim faster now than I did with tech suits, so can you. You just may have to add some HIT yards to the slow il garbagio.
