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.
Good point; I don't know. I had a coach who used to love to have us wear cutoff jeans extensively, early in the season -- they had pockets and got really heavy. I always hated them with a passion, especially in butterfly (which he loved) because I felt like my hips sank, changing my stroke a lot.
Like you, I can see the point in a more limited context, like sprints to work on power, but not for long or multiple sets.
I pretty much think that tennis shoes are similar (I know CreamPuff likes them); they change my stroke too much to use all that much, except maybe on sprints.
I like using tennis shoes on occasion, too. I don't use them a ton but like to use them from time to time. It makes me work a ton harder to get my hips and feet up and I feel like my legs are getting stronger and I feel like I fly after I take them off.
