sportsillustrated.cnn.com/.../index.html From the man whose WR has been broken four times in the last two months..... I like his attitude. He could never be a USMS swimmer. Too much whining here about everything.

    I am not concerned about access to the suits at the Olympics,the TYR suit is probably about as fast as the LZR and pretty much everyone will have some hightech suit.I am more concerned about the "arms race" in age group and Masters where not everyone wants to spend $550 for a suit that lasts 5 swims. I too am concerned about this. I would hate to see 12 yr olds with AA times demanding LZRs from their parents. Even worse would be parents succumbing to the pressure. Suddenly the annual cost of the sport goes up by $500 or more.
