the next generation of speedo high tech suits is being released very soon. I don't know how it can be better than the fs II. I think its just a way for speedo to make more money.

I hope the price of the fs 2 goes down becasue of the new suit.
The new suit is very well timed for worlds. Don't the "Olympic" suits usually come out right before trials?
As for the TYR arm bands, the athletes are most certainly given the suits for free. I know Speedo gives away tons of their most recent technical suit at trials, even to athletes that they are not sponsoring. (Correct me if I am wrong)
Actually the swimmers I was talking about were USMS swimmers who purchased the TYR Aqua Shift with the bands in early spring 2004 when they were introduced to the market and before the FINA decison to ban them. The suit was expensive and you could still use the turbo but you were stuck with the arm bands. I guess you could still use them in practice but they have became illegal in competition.
