Why does MLB prohibit the use of aluminum bats or spitting on baseballs or letting players use steroids (okay - two out of three)? Why does NASCAR prohibit fuel injected engines or certain transmission gear ratios? Why does the PGA disqualify certain golf balls or regulate golf clubs? Why can't basketball players where stilts or use a trampoline? Enough is enough, when a piece of equipment can alter the record books and cheapen the physical accomplishments of every past athlete, it's time to say stop (don't you think?).
The integrity of our sport is on the line here. How about two dolphin kicks for breaststroke or how about adding another arm-stroke to the backstroke turn or allowing IM'ers to turn-over before they touch on the back to *** transition.
I'm against the LZR and any suit that enhances performance and don't think I'll be changing my mind unless they find out swimming naked can make you swim faster.
Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.

Where’s The Water? :shakeshead:
Of all the issues with tech suits, the main thing is that they take away the feel of being in the water and the comfortable aquatic experience of swimming in briefs has been replaced with an ecchy “taking a bath with your clothes on” sensation.
:blah::blah::blah:
"The main thing is that they take away ..."
How do you know? Have you tried one? More than once? How can you make this bald assertion in the face of probably a majority of suit wearers who don't agree with this statement? The fact that you think so doesn't make it true. And I haven't seen anything from you, except ridiculous Rush Limbaugh type opinions and NSR embellishment, that give your statements any credence.
The bottom line is that many masters swimmers use and enjoy these suits. Including cheatin' Smith who, despite his pro-brief rhetoric, wore a rare and coveted TYR suit to defeat the other Smith, who was adorned in a Pro, in the 50 free at Nats.
