Well, to be totally honest, I agree with you. However I know of a swim team that wears girl suits when they practice. And since I am of the opinion there are pleanty of "guy drag suits" why would you need to wear girl suits? I also though wearing a girl suit would mess up your strokes since you have added pressure to your shoulders etc.
maybe they're hand-me-downs, stretched out swimsuits may be a cheap solution to adding drag.
I have about a dozen streatched out old suits that could be used for added drag and i can only use one at the time. If someone wanted the extras, I'd gladly give them away just before I toss them out.
Cheaper that getting a specialized drag bucket or a parachute.
