FINA banned the shiny suits partially because they gave some people an unfair advantage.Then they turn around and OK adding the fins to the blocks.They supposedly make starts 0.2-0.4 faster.That is not a trivial amount especially in a 50.Being able to practice with them before a meet that has them is undoubtedly beneficial.Very few swimmers will have access to them on a regular basis.Is this fair,what say you?
Loved the blocks in Omaha and felt they gave me a way stronger start. At the Rowdy Gaines meet, the fin was taller and the adjustments more cumbersome. I ended up at the bottom of the pool for most starts. Not a fan of those particular blocks. It's probably a hindrance for as many people as it helps.
