I have to say - even after knowing quite a bit about the added speed of the suits and all the discussions -- it is very strange to do a test like this -
You swim a certain time and then put on a suit and drop 1.5 seconds - you usually don't get the exact comparison. It's a strange mix of fun and feeling a little "guilty".
Exactly what Brunelli & Lezak said the first time in a Jaked...
There may be a way to do some very intensive testing of these suits but if you race a lot and have tried a variety of suits in various phases of training and meet cycles...although subjective...you should have a fairly good handle on where your times would be.
