  • There is no way a suit makes 9/100ths of a second difference. I don't have any data to support that claim, just a somewhat educated guess. Sorry T.J but I totally disagree...suit technology plays a significant pat in how fast we are seeing people race "in season" and my guess is that it probably has more of an effect than 9/100ths. The bigger question to me is the one JS posed, not how much of a differance the latest Fastskin technology has vs. the first or second generation but rather vs. the old school bikini days (which Mr. Commings still embraces!). By the way speaking of suits....as of the end of December Arena USA shuttered its operations here in the US...not sure where that leaves those of us who use their suits!
