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.

    "Most troubling to coaches, the suits seem to help the flabby, lazier swimmers the most, because their fat gets compressed but remains more buoyant than dense muscle, allowing them to float higher in the water and swim faster." AKA Tech Suits are a GOD SEND for Masters SWIMMERS Okay, I chuckled at Ande's comment. But why do I just feel like I and the rest of my fellow masters swimmers were called "flabby and lazy?!" :afraid:
