FINA are going to review current swimsuit design amid concerns that technology is influencing the sport:

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?
I can’t wait until someone in a conventional 1970s style racer brief wins out over the LZR and embarrass the hell out of all these high tech suit makers!!! :banana:
Happy swimming :)

I think you are going to have to wait. Anyone in the talent caliber that these top swimmers are will be wearing a LZR, or its competitor, and be handsomely compensated for it by the manufacturer. None would be willing to jeapordize their livelyhood for a stunt like that.
