I guess we will have to argue about which pull bouy is better now - all foam versus foam with straps. The suits are/were the one cool gear thing about swimming.
Agreed. Now people can stop paying attention again and swimming's popularity can decline. At the very least, I think the coverage limitation to 1996 cut is a bit of an overreaction.
I'm happy enough to swim in briefs, which has been my usual competition gear for all but about 10% of my swims. But I think that the tech suits added some excitement and got more people talking about swimming. I personally liked seeing that.
I like the strapless pull buoy for doing balance drills (hold it in my hand extended), but I like the strap buoy for the intended use of keeping my legs up.
