Before 2009 Kukors best 200 IM was 2:10.40 World class for sure, but still a cut behind the top women in the event. Today she goes a 2:06.15 and in two days shaves more than a second off the world record. I nominate this swim, just ahead of Bousquets 20.94, as the most ridiculous suited up swim of all time.

I like the way Kirk framed this. Being able to make a living in the sport is good for everyone if you ascribe to the high-tide raises all boats theory. But that subjects you to the risk of signing a contract that relegates you to wearing a slower suit. So if you do not want the suit being a determining factor of who wins the race you need to control the suit-race.
