USMS and Blue Seventy!!!

it’s perfectly OK with me if you have no reservation about spending a lot of money on those suits Glad to hear it. So now you can drop whatever it is you're trying to do?

There seems to be no limit to the depths of your ignorance and now we can add liar to the list. TYR is a private company. Good luck finding Speedo's stock ticker. You've been told a few dozen times already that these suits are loss leaders. If you ever bother to visit a team or know anything about suits you'd understand this. Damn, dealing with you and your utter lack of knowledge on anything aquatic is becoming tiresome. You need to stop, seriously.

PPPPPPPPTTTTTTTT (Flatuation Sound Effect). :bolt: BTW, great for added floatation effect in this particular suit. Helps with buoyancy. Might be illegal but how will they test? Wouldn't want to be a "tester"...:afraid:

Or, the masters could work a bit harder and eat healthier so they can fit into offered sizes... After all, we do control what we shovel into our mouths. Just a suggestion, and its one we do have control over. Sorry, Doug, but there is AMPLE evidence that very fit 'overweight' people are just as 'healthy' as those who reduce their weight by eating 'healthier' food. One such link describing the new research is the New York Times www.nytimes.com/.../19well.html. You can find others using Google. As one, who used to be considerably heavier (i.e. 40 pounds ten years ago) I can tell you that NOT ONE of my vital signs changed for the better after the weight loss. Nor did my performance get any better in any of my competitive sports. You can preach to yourself, but you should be careful about evangelizing to others. After all, such attitudes have had remarkable NEGATIVE effect on elite female athletes who have been told they are 'too fat.'

You told us all a while back that despite not being a swimmer you had tried on a friend's tech suit. From the post above it appears that was not the truth. So, have you weared one or not, yes or no?? Please reference post #43 in this thread where you said you had weared one: forums.usms.org/showthread.php Hey Aquageek I don’t have to be a competitive swimmer to know this common fact about hydrodynamics of swimming: If you want to gain more speed, the factor that should receive highest priority is to get more propulsion and reducing surface drag is way at the bottom of the list of priorities. If people want to swim faster, the simplest solution is to just put on a (relatively inexpensive and long lasting) set of paddles and flippers -not some expensive “tech suit”. I know people who are spending huge amounts of money on being a part of the tech suit fad don’t like hearing this, but you’re getting played for a sucker by the suit makers who are raking in big $$$. :badday: However being that I’m a “Dirty Filthy Capitalist Pig”, it’s perfectly OK with me if you have no reservation about spending a lot of money on those suits and I’m seriously thinking about buying stock in the parent companies that own the suit makers. :banana: So I am quite pleased that your craze will be putting money in my pocket and you will be helping me buy a vacation condo!!! :anim_coffee: Happy holidays!!!
