saw this in an article:
oscillating deformations of subcutaneous adipose tissue when swimming at higher speeds
why didn't he just write,

lol.. I like your title best Ande!
I do remember someone discussing this very topic, and stating that for the most part these suits are for shaving off tenths and hundredths of seconds, not whole seconds.
so it seems as though MANY factors during your swim could account for adding or subtracting tenths of a second, including getting your reflexes honed so your start is faster, streamlining better, turning efficiently etc..
It seems as though the full body suit is just one small step to getting only slightly faster, and that there are MANY other ways to achieve that type of time gain.. (if it even accounts for any time gain as the article questioned..)
interesting...
