Do you think that there are any participants in Masters Swimming that use illegal supplements?

Please tell me what you mean by cheating? USMS has no banned list, so you certainly are not breaking any rules.
Steroids are banned in other sports not because they make you better, but because they are unsafe. If some people choose to use them, you would have to do something dangerous to your body to be on a level playing field. With safety out of the equation this point is moot.
A fast skin suit makes you faster and you do not have to do anything to get the improvement. Just put it on. Steroids will only make you faster if you work hard. So the "you get faster by doing nothing" argument has little relevance and no precedence.
Please define cheating...
