I loved the B70, but I want masters swimming to remain swimming. I don't want it to become a big body boating for old people sealed into neoprene kayaks sport. That, to me, is NOT swimming anymore! Isn't this a bit of an overstatement? Don't I recall a whopping .1 improvement in your 100 free SCY going from an FS I to a B70 at Colonies Zones meets? I don't see .1 or other minor differentials as "not swimming anymore." And how exactly can one "swim" in a LZR or Rocket Science or Pro but "NOT swim" in a B70?! I know there is odd report from certain masters claiming big time drops with a B70, but it doesn't appear to come from the ones who train hard and compete frequently like Chris, Puffery, JimRude, etc. I think Ian's proposal is pretty reasonable. I see no reason for B70 not to be on the list when other comparable suits are.
