Yeah thats allot more then my clothing budget also...
though im suprised i dont spend that much with all the different suits i have.. (im glad im a guy...)
It would be a sight to see Shaq in a LZR....It would be a great commercial for Speedo....They could use something like "even the man of steel floats in the LZR"
loved this article, it was funny
"if applied beyond the pool, could extend most marriages by three to five years."
The biggest downside?
It can take a swimmer 20 minutes to squeeze into one of these babies for a race that might last 20 seconds. Then again, everything's relative: Joan Rivers spends 90 minutes in makeup for a 90-second TV appearance.
"You can put Michael Phelps next to Shaquille O'Neal, and whether they are wearing Speedo LZR Racers or raccoon coats, Phelps is always going to swim a bit faster."
CORRECTION to
Phelps is always going to swim a LOT faster." than Shaq

"At the Australian Olympic trials, Jess Schipper said the LZR filled with water as she competed in the 200-meter butterfly final, causing her to fade down the stretch."
ande's comment: Bubbling is a serious issue, and could be the reason why some swimmers
fail make the olympic team at trials or
still make the team but don't swim as fast as they could have
here's Jessi's Times
maybe she just went out really hard and died
