      Maybe that would have helped Diana Nyad in her swim... She had the majority of her face covered in Nyad's swim.

      She had the majority of her face covered in Nyad's swim. I was thinking exactly the same thing before I read Skip's post. Check out the photos on Diana's blog; her face wasn't that covered. I wonder why she didn't have her face covered like the gals in the photo That Guy posted...

      Wait, I read something about "China Beach" but I don't see anything at all about Dana Delany. What a gyp!

      No one has asked the obvious... would this be considered too tech-ish for FINA or USAS? WOuld it provide unfair afdvantage if it compressed the face too much and thus streamlined the person? (HA HA HA... :dedhorse:)

      I guessing this could hit it big in Moslem countries.
