What is it going to be like racing in Racing in Briefs, Jammers for the guys and Neck to Knee suits for the women? Without rubber suits and we go back to nylon, lycra may be even silk suits?
If the new rules go into effect unless FINA changes their mind????
Knelson, do you think the hitech suits would be good training devices?
I think that swimming in one as a training device could help a swimmer get lined up into a better swimming position and when it is taken off you will be a better swimmer. Hitech suits could replace swimming drils???
...
But in order to "feel" the race as one would in actual competition, a person would have to shed the suit in advance of the meet. Otherwise it would be like swimming shaved in practice and then growing a wooly suit of fur right before the meet. You have to be ready mentally to compete, and the "feel" of your swim is an important aspect.
