  • As far as I know the study was published but not picked up on by the swimming media...I'm going to try and track brian down and see if I can find it. I talked to Bryan about this, too, and I recall the Arena suit "won" the competition at the time. He was coaching at Valpo, but I just looked at their website and see he resigned. Not sure where he's at now. There's no question in my mind that these suits improve performance. I've worn a Fastskin at enough meets now to know that I swim faster with it on.
