Rubbish. What, are we going to drown if we don't have a fancy suit? So we'll swim slower without one. Big deal.
I disagree. Maybe some people wouldn't care, but I can tell you I wouldn't be happy that the guy swimming next to me showed up on the blocks wearing fins and paddles, for example. Swim meets are COMPETITIONS. In a competition I think you should care what your competitors are doing.
Right on, Kirk. If you are swimming slower, finds ways to swim faster(or tech suits times) without a fancy suit as a crutch. Go to an extra practice or two, have a day devoted to a stroke or sprinting or technique, step up the weights, yoga, etc.
I really don't think that Gaines can be that objective since he has an endorsement deal with b70.
I totally care about what my competitors are doing. How could you not care? It is the nature of sports to care.
