With two new hydrodynamic race suits coming out (Speedo's Fast Skin II and TYR's Aqua Shift), do you plan on wearing either for a future championship meet? Which do you think you'll choose? Is there anyone considering combing the two (sleeveless Fast Skin II with TYR's Aqua Bands)?

Unless you get them for free, Fastskins are not that worth it. They really only last for a few races before they lose their effectiveness, and work best when they are dry before the race. That does not really make it worth it for a Master's swimmer. I am not sure about how the other swim suit companies suits work, only Speedo. My only fastskins were provided to me and while they were great, I have more important things to spend $$$.
They do not help you drop that much time and aquablade is good enough and cost a lot less $$$.
