I can assure that breaking any masters world record is something special to celebrate, tech suit or no tech suit, individual or relay. Especially if it is your first.
I also wonder if FINA will allow tech suits for Masters. Whether masters swimmers in the future wear Full body rubber suits or jammers or kneeskins, I know there are faster swimmers coming along and as they age if they so choose, they will eclipse masters records.
But I am concerned that world records done swimmers in full body rubber suits will be hard for swimmers to beat wearing fabric jammers & kneeskins.
I think the fair thing to do is to put full body suit records in the books then start tracking new records done by swimmers wearing qualifying suits.
