I recently swam my first open water of the year. One attended by many. For the first time I saw a Blue Seventy suit (I know I need to get out more) but to call them a swim suit is crazy! they are a wet suit. My daughter spent the day swimming in Chicago. Talking with a world champion she said that she normally holds 1:05 one hundreds for long sets...one time she swam with a Blue Seventy, easily holding 1:00's. I believe her. Say what you want, but to compare anyones records in the blue seventy to the old Mark Spitz suit, is like saying Barry Bonds and Babe Ruth were the same....lol....thank god I am not worried about competition, (I just try to finish) because I would not want to wear a B70, and that would be a HUGH disadvantage.
There is a huge difference in a Nero and a wet suit. In June I helped at a triathlon and zipped up a few suits for friends (and strangers). The wetsuit is much, much, much thicker. There is no way you could confuse the two.
