I purchased the Yingfa body suit from George Park last week and used it for the local YMCA masters championship meet the was held at Clarion University of PA this weekend, April 4 & 5, 2009.
I had never worn anything other than a jammer for meets (TYR fusion).
The suit fit well and took about 10 minutes for me to get into.
I have not been praticing much this past year due to coaching committments, and am not in the best shape.
I am a breaststroker and the suit seemed to really help on turns and the start.
I have been doing 1:14's this season for the 100 SCY ***. This weekend I went a 1:11.79. 50 *** was 33.90 all season and did a 32.83.
Before using a body suit, as a coach, I did not think the suit would make much of a difference, but according to the times I did this weekend, it definitely improved my times.
I can not see spending the big $$ for the better known tech suits but the price for the Yingfa was something I could live with.
I would recemmend the Yingfa for the price and fit.
Thank you George.

George is a Yingfa expert. I think he will be able to answer your questions.
Is this a Chinese made copy of a Speedo?
In terms of the B70, two quick notes from the same meet.
One guy told me his son, who swims high school, had done a lifetime best of 1:51 in the 200 free. His coach bought the team B70s for the PA state meet. The kid's time dropped to 1:44.
I also heard from the goggle selling lady that if you put a 5 lb. brick on a B70, it still floats. She said if you put a 1 lb. brick on a LZR, it doesn't float. That's why she thinks the B70 will be outlawed and the LZR allowed.
She also said B70s have been banned by high schools, and that all records swum in them may have asterisks put by them in the future.
Are these just rumors, or has anyone else heard validated versions of these stories?
