Really interesting article re: the cost for college teams to try and stay even w/other teams that can afford to supply their swimmers w/the new suits.

  • I have to wonder why Auburn waited until the last minute to order their suits. Even I, as a low level swimmer, have some back up. However, I also see this as being a possible media ploy to psych out the other teams. . . Yeah, I don't believe it for a minute. I'm sure they've suited up for other meets this season. These days you've got to suit up to swim fast enough to qualify. They may not be getting any brand new suits for NCs, but I'm sure they've got suits.
