The most substantial change, of course, is that suits would no longer be allowed to extend past the knee.
My personal opinion is this is sort of an arbitrary change. What really should be changed--if anything--is what types of materials are allowed and maybe testing protocol to approve a suit. I don't really think requiring suits to end at the knees would affect much.
Regarding Dolphin 2:
1 - He's not a competitive swimmer (and I wonder if he actually can swim) yet he's an expert on tech suits.
2 - He doesn't have any children yet he thinks he's qualified to tell us how to be better parents.
I think the best response to his future ranting is to totally ignore him and not even respond to his posts.
Just my :2cents:
:agree::agree::agree:!
Even if they ban these suits, the slow kids will still be slow and their parents will still be neurotic.
:agree::agree::agree:!
It seems pretty simple to me:
Tech suits do work,
Natural ability, technique, training, motivation, power, etc. all still add more advantage,
(Many) parents will (& SHOULD) continue to be neurotic about their kids ... but that's their prerogative
People who don't have kids should confine their guidance to matters that don't involve kids ... ditto tech suits
