The article is a little “Long Winded” but I get the author’s idea: These suits enable you to swim faster with less emphasis on effort and skill.
On this subject, there was an article on suit technology in a past issue of USMS Swimmer Magazine in which a coach at a university in Colorado (Mel Dyck I recall was his name) who said something to the effect that “……He was all for tech suits because he was able to spend less time training”. I guess his statement eloquently sums up what was in inferred the article
The next "innovation" in suits will be several layers of bubble wrap laminated between the inner and outer surfaces for increased buoyancy so the problem of maintaining body position and floatation will also be a thing of the past. :agree:
