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.

that's pretty dramatic
going from
1:15's to 1:07's
and
31's to 28/29
you might turn into a workout swimmer
Never!
As for the time drops in workout...there is no doubt I was putting some extra effort in but really tried to keep it equal to the swim without the suit. Bottom line is the effort measured by my HR didn't change...
As for FINA approval for use in pools:
"The official FINA letter that approves the pointzero3, the pointzero3+, the nero 10k, and the nero comp swimskins as being legal in all FINA events" is avaiable here: www.blueseventy.com/.../
