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.
Do people do it because it's just part of swimming culture?
I think so. My opinion is many swimmers and coaches are almost a little afraid of swimming too fast. That sounds weird, but what I mean is everyone wants to gear up for that one big meet. It's almost as though, if you do something to swim fast before the big meet you're letting the genie out of the bottle early. Like you've only got so many good fast swims in you or something.
