LZR

ande
just got an email about preordering LZR's for shipment around 6/30 the price list (below) seems too pricey for me I think it would be good to figure out the ideal performance vs value point for fastskins I might order an FSII jammer and legskin but hopefully it will make the others drop: LZR Racer Male Pre-order * LZR Racer Jammer - $290.00 Pre-order * LZR Racer Legskin - $350.00 Pre-order * LZR Racer High Neck Bodyskin - $550.00 LZR Racer Female Pre-order * LZR Racer Recordbreaker Kneeskin - $425.00 Pre-order * LZR Racer Recordbreaker Bodyskin - $475.00 Pre-order * Female LZR Racer High Neck Bodyskin - $550.00

    I heard that, in his 1500 in Missouri, Tom Koucheravy's LZR suit "blew up like a parachute" and he didn't finish the race. I heard something similar happened to VanderKaay's suit as well. Makes you wonder whether the suit technology is really perfected ... Keep in mind that the 1500 was during Session 7, the last session, of the meet. And that most of those LZR suits were "loaners." Speedo was loaning them to swimmers to wear during their races. I know this because one of my teammates has two daughters who both swam in the meet. They put themselves on the "loaner" list but I don't think they got lucky enough to actually wear one of the suits. At least they weren't wearing them the day I was at the meet. I would guess that the loaner LZR suits took a beating, after being repeatedly put on and taken off by many different swimmers. Anna Lea
