  • Sure its not fair at all if a kid has to play golf with a $50 set from Walmart against rich kids with $400 drivers. Swimming doesn't have to be that way unless we want to make it that way. It used to always be in swimming that with a $20 suit and a pair of goggles it was a level playing field. When all decent arguments on this subject are exhausted we see the old class warfare card played. And, here it is again. The only argument more loco mcstupider is when a biker tells me that swimming should limit technology.
