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?

    Reading through Wikipedia's entry on supercavitation I got the distinct impression the speed of the vessel has to be above 40m/s. It will be awhile before even Michael Phelps approaches that speed. Skip My guess is that George is pulling our leg. After all, he has called for a flat headed swimmer in order to make it work right.
