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.

We have to stop using the suits, simple as that.
Why? Because it is about SWIMMING, not about the outfit.
I strapped myself in a Jaked-suit a couple weeks ago and shaved two seconds of my personal best on 100 butterfly (which I swam with briefs back in the day)...
Oh, I stopped training 6 years ago and became a chainsmoker since, did I not mention that?
The improvement should not have happened, but it did... Some suits just improve the swimmer too much... People who will not admit to that are just scared that they would lose in briefs...
Have some pride and lose the suits!
