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.

  • But why do I just feel like I and the rest of my fellow masters swimmers were called "flabby and lazy?!" :afraid: eh, it's all relative. "Fit" at my age, and working out a lot compared to most professionals, might well seem a little flabby or lazy at half my age in a D1 swim program. It's not too surprising that a college coach thinks his or her swimmers should not be in quite as good a position as people who could be their mothers to benefit from compression suits (although it is a little surprising that one would say so in print).
