I'm confused on all this stuff about suits.
I have a Masters LCM meet this Saturday. Is the B70 illegal? Is the FS Pro legal? I'm going to assume my poly is legal! I didn't get much use out of my B70 so I would have worn it one last time but am I correct in that it's a no go?
Thanks!

So I wore a FS Pro for the first time ever and went almost exactly the same or faster than my lifetime B70 times. By the way people talk about the amazing B70, shouldn't I have added tons of time? Or is the general consensus that the Pro is about the same as the B70. BTW, those pros only last a few swims. I could feel mine stretch out hour by hour.
Puff'n'Stuff: I would say that for most swimmers, the B70 is considerably faster than the Pro. Albeit that the B70 takes some getting used to because it feels much different than the Pro (which, to me, feel like a very tight old school paper suit). The B70 also stretches out, but not like the Pro; and the B70 can/should be "suctioned" against your skin (defeating the whole air trapping argument). All in all, the B70 is a much more durable, arguably faster suit than anything Speedo has. YMMV.
