Actually, in a swimming competition (or any other individual competition) you can only worry about what you are doing. If you worry about what others are doing, then you have already given them an advantage over you, whether you realize it or not.
Who said anything about worrying about your competition? My point is that you need to be cognizant of your competitors. Do you think Lezak was paying attention to Bernard in the next lane last year in the 400 relay in Beijing? I think he was and if he truly blocked Bernard's presence out entirely he probably wouldn't have won.
Personally, I think the swimsuit manufacturers will do just fine. I'm not going to support tech suits because I am worried that they'll go out of business.
In fact, people have speculated on this forum that the LZR was a loss leader for Speedo and that they are making all their money selling more traditional suits.
