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.

On the controversy about whether the world’s records were being legitimately earned by those who wear LZRs, Fastskins, etc., there was an idea I read in the article about how a similar controversy could be resolved about neoprene wet suits in open water meets (see the contents of SWIMMER magazine shown on the right side of the USMS home page).
As far as ordinary indoor pool racing is concerned, in addition to the present “technically assisted swimming” category (where technical suits are allowed), just have a separate “pure athletic swimming” category (where only minimal suiting is allowed) and the same swimmers compete wearing just ordinary briefs. Also this category would have its own separate world record listings. :agree:
Based on Alex Popov’s general comments on the art of swimming, the latter case would resolve the question about who in fact really is "The world’s fastest swimmer". :applaud:
If you ain’t gettin’ wet all over, you ain’t really swimmin’.
