Is anyone out there besides Ande wearing racing suits in practice? I've never done it before, but was wondering it it's worth the bother to throw an old fastskin on for time periodically or during taper?
So, I shaved and swam a practice. I have to say, it seems like Ande is on to something with all of his FSII practice swims. Swimming with reduced drag makes for different technique priorities. I had to relax and lower my stroke rate to go fast today. It's a much different feeling, and I'm glad I have several weeks to get used to it. I nearly collided with the wall a couple times.
I'm not sure, but I think the bodysuit effects my turns. I've had some trouble with turns at meets lately. I think the bodysuit makes me zoomier heading into them. I might try an old racing suit in practice for some turn work.
I don't understand wearing a bodyskin or Pro for an entire practice. I've seen men doing it. I saw an age grouper girl doing it the other day. I just kept thinking --you're wrecking your Pro.
