I remember when MarK Spitz set his WR for swimming wearing simple "off the shelf" briefs that you could buy at Sears, that was viewed as a real accomplishment.
However, setting a new WR in swimming by using some kind of mechanical aid -IE- a $300 "Tech Suit" seems pretty Hooooo-Huuuuum (except being food for media hype). :confused:

I look forward to news of your setting a WR. And I am sure that the forumites will pitch in together to buy you the tech suit of your choice for this ho-hum WR you'll set.
