FINA are going to review current swimsuit design amid concerns that technology is influencing the sport:
news.bbc.co.uk/.../7312593.stm
Seems strange to me that the only way technical suits can be legal is if they do not offer an advantage but that the only reason for wearing one is to gain an advantage.
Does anyone out there wear a technical suit for reasons other than to help them go faster?

Super cavitation is coming to swim design and swim technique. ...This is were the super cavitation will start.
Not sure I follow. I know what cavitation is in a pump, it's why I put an eccentric reducer (flat on top) into any horizontal pump suction lines when I'm designing a piping layout at work. That prevents cavitation, which is a Very Bad Thing in pumps and valves. What is it in swimming? Do we want it or not want it?
