8 World Records so far at the Aussie Olympic Trials - all set by swimmers wearing the new Speedo LZRs.
How good are these suits anyway?

Well, just for fun I looked up the FINA Masters Top Ten from last year (LC). I chose Laura Val as an example because I have seen her in action a few times over the past few years. To put it simply, her competitors are going to need more than an LZR to catch her. When you hold an 18 second advantage in the 200 Free over the next fastest competitor, while also holding the world record in said event...swimsuit technology is of little concern.
Point being, I don't think LZR will have much impact on us lowly USMS competitors.
