Interesting video on floswimming. Sean Hutchison at King Aquatics is having his team wear tech suits during workout: www.floswimming.org/.../84660-everyday-is-suit-day
Looks like Ande is on the cutting edge again.

Great interview - one of the best I have seen on floswimming.
You have to practice in the suits - the difference in body position is just too big. All over sudden you can take that 3r or 4th dolphin kick off the wall. Breaststroke feels totally different and the Freestyle kick does come down at a different angle.
What about the backstokers pushing the 15 m mark under water - I bet they have to take one or 2 kicks less with the suit on. Also - I usually have a very even stroke count in short-course races - taking one stroke less per lap changes my turns / breathing and rythm.
