Aussie Olympic Trials

Completely disagree...and think your looking at it from the wrong point of view. It's not about wether a masters swimmer can/will break a record wearing the suit, or if it will help someone 18 seconds slower overcome Laura...its how much improvement will Laura (or any individual) have in their own swims. We will see a fair amount of swimmers with the suit in Austin, wait and see. Even if this suit were going to take 2-3 seconds off of every 100 yards I swim (highly unlikely), that would not convince me to spend the $550.00. I suspect that a swimmer who is within striking distance of a WR, AR, or otherwise might see things differently. But the fact still remains, that's a lot of money to be spending on a swimsuit. As for seeing quite a few of these at Austin, I don't doubt that. Another question one might ask, is how many people have been using these suits thus far and not swimming WR's? Or for that matter, not even swimming best times?
