  • I think the tech suits are cool and I liked wearing one. Heck, even the name "tech suit" is cool. Just about anything is cooler than the briefs we used to wear, of course. I'm sorry to see them go. I do like the concept of the "purity" of racing without them, and it does level the playing field to some extent. But still, anything that makes swimming more "cool" is probably not a terrible thing for the sport. My guess is that they will be back in a couple of years...
