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.
Coach T.
Paul, did you feel hot in the suit?
I swam at 6am so no. But will say you do not want to sit around in this thing all day at a meet. As Glenn pointed out in his article...much easier to get on then a FS Pro.
Also, i just spoke with one of the owners and got a bit more info. As Ande said although this suit will work for "pool" meets it really was developed with a triathlete in mind...loser fit to get on/off over a pair of cycling/running shorts faster.
I'm going to go with the Nero instead...
