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.
I was at a 3 day 14 & U prelim/final meet this weekend. I would say 98% of the kids had on Fastskin II suits. I didn't realize they now come in day glow colors. Pink, purple, lime green, light blue. What happened to the plain old black and silver recordbreaker? Didn't see any full bodyskins. But did see some knee length ones ... No fastskin pros for the little ones yet.
Here's what I don't get. Why the heck are those kids swimming with the fastskins in warm up?! If the water repellant coating only lasts a few meets, why are they wearing the fastskins instead of their drag suits in warm up? And why exactly haven't their coaches explained that dry fastskins are faster than wet fastskins? If they change into a dry fastskin after warm up, they also won't be turning blue and shivering while they wait for their race ...
I hope the price goes down with the advent of the pro, since fastskins only last a few meets. Hard to believe for $165 or so a pop ... Heard a lot of parental complaints about price. Of course they all shelled out the big bucks. Me too. Since I have one myself, hard not to deny the kid. She's spoiled now. My parenting obviously sucks.
What's the current price of the fastskin pro?
