Here is the solution to the tech suit controversy for Masters. Allow the suits to be worn in competition. Those that oppose them, wishing to preserve the purity of the sport, may wear a Speedo brief and, win or lose, leave happy and secure in the knowledge that they swam unaided, their times are legitimate, and they are morally superior to those swimmers who wore tech suits. The rest of us can continue to wear our expensive rubber suits, swim beyond our capabilities, and celebrate our (relatively) fast--but morally reprehensible!--times over a cold beer after the meet. A win-win situation.
