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.

Fort and Paul, I've never worn anything but the FSII so maybe it would be different if I tried something else, I dunno. I've talked to the UR swimmers and have gotten various opinions about the tech suits but all agree that the FSPro feels better than the FSII. Fitting is an issue -- I have a long torso and short legs -- and I am in no particular rush. Some day I'll go to a meet where I can try on different sizes, if I feel the urge.
Galen, I agree with you for myself but I would never presume to define what IS or ISN'T swimming for anyone else. If Fort and Paul say they like the feeling of the tech suits better, more power to them.
What's the saying? Oh, yes...IT'S ONLY MASTERS...to each his own.
Hi Chris:
I agree that many posters on this board view swimming as just being another competitive sport like NASCAR (and subject to all the gimmicks of mechanization) without regard to the more sensual aspect of it being an aquatic athletic activity.
By the way, here’s the way FINA should go about resolving the controversy over what kind of suit should be permitted:

Just cross out the word “bathroom” and write in the word “pool”. :lmao:
If you ain't gettin' wet all over, you ain't really swimin'. :groovy:
