Since there has been observation on this forum that most younger female (not male) swimmers at Nationals wore non-tech suits (the 18-24 and 25-29 groups), I'm curious as to why.
Anyone of that younger group look at this board and care to post reasons? Cost? Controversy over "authenticity" of times when fastest suits are banned? Desire to look hot for guys, as one poster suggests?
I think that as a "pup" you are trained to go fast no matter what. I remember some of my best high school in-season meets were done not ONLY wearing lycra suits but also after some tough workouts (for some reason, my coach thought that we were slacking off....)
I, personally, would much rather see a tech suit than a non-tech suit. As my mom would say, "it leaves more to the imagination" :D
