I don't want to get into the tech suit debate because I really just want to wear a traditional suit and compete. I dont have a moral stand on the issue, I just grew up in normal suits and that is what I am comfortable in.
My question is wether there are any high-level swimmers that dont wear tech suits, but still setting records and winning events? I am curious both about Masters meets, but also USA Swimming and international swim meets.
Yesterday @ the Tualatin Hills meet in Oregon, plenty of Masters swimmers were wearing B70's. (And I have no problem with that.)
:hijack: Swimmj swam great until her calves cramped up. Hope you're feeling better, Swimmj! Allen Stark got a state record in the 200 butterfly. Great job Allen! I said hi to Allen a couple times; he looked at me like I'm a space alien. I'll have you know I'm proud of my Martian heritage, I learned to swim despite there being no pools or even any water on Mars, and besides the swim cap keeps my antennae down to where you can hardly notice them. No worries, Allen! :bliss:
I was happy with my results - despite being untapered and unshaven, I put up three times that have a chance at the top ten. And while the other two times I posted will definitely not threaten the rankings, they were lifetime bests. Also, yesterday was the first time I've ever swum LCM indoors. The pool doesn't seem quite as huge that way!
I'm sorry I am a bit of a space alien myself at meets.I get really focused/oblivious.Also after the 200 fly I had no oxygen flow to my brain so I am not responsible for my behavior after that(one could say that swimming the 200 fly was proof I wasn't responsible before that.)
