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.

Does that mean the point zero 3 is not for pool racing? And what is the difference between the point zero 3 and the point zero 3+? Is the 3+ just a later version?
The 3+ covers the calves; the 3 only goes to the knees.
They are both meant for triathlons where wetsuits are not legal (eg, the IM championships in Kona). So it is intended that you would wear tri shorts or unis under the suit. Compared to the Comp and 10k versions, there may be a difference in thickness as well, but I am not sure. (Thicker may even be better if it means "more buoyant.")
The Nero Comp and 10k are meant for swimming races -- the latter for OW swims, as implied by the name -- and I believe both come in full leg knee-high versions. The zipper on the 10k is not as "streamlined" (hydrodynamic) as on the Comp, otherwise they are identical. All this information comes from Blueseventy, I have not compared the two suits side-by-side.
