Hi Hoffam
As I’ve said previously, since anyone can put on a performance suit and gain (or not gain) an advantage, these suits are a superfluous idea and may as well be eliminated from the equation.
As for their cost, the price of just simple briefs are way too much (at least $15 here in S.F.) and it is a complete waste of money for parents to be buying even more expensive tech suits so their children can feel "more competitive".
It’s humorously ironic that people are complaining about the high cost of gas, yet they will run out and buy an expensive tech suit in the purely zealous pursuit of being the Big Dog in the pool. :blah:
Kinda reminds me of people who buy those “High Riding” SUVs (with the body jacked up 2 feet over the wheels) and then go parading around town showing off their prowess -and burning up gallons of expensive gas in the process!!! :roids:
Happy swimming

Sounds to me like someone that is against any major thing to improve performance in or out of the water.....I personally would love to see all swimmers wearing the exact same suit.....then there could be no argument as to who is fastest in any event. But at the same time, the improvements in sporting equipment is an on-going battle in any and every sport....it's part of the game.....if I can get just the slightest edge over my opponent....I'll take it as long as it is legal and approved for competition.....IMHO of course!
