"It is very certain that, when it is not in our power to determine what is true, we ought to act according to what is most probable."
~Rene Descartes, 1596-1650~
Descartes was flying on a plane. The steward asked him if he would like a drink. He replied, " I think not", and disappeared.
Rejoinder to Descartes"you think therefore you know you are,but what am I?"
Good bye and good riddance to the suits. Enough drama, and the drama will never stop if they are kept legal. I swam great at masters nationals with my suit- world record included- and think they are an amazing leap forward performance-wise. But my high school daughter made me feel guilty the whole time ("That's not real swimming, you're cheating Dad!).
Rowdy Gaines is a not a A+ representative for our sport. Great swimmer, especially in a Blue 70. But his opinions and commentary do not make me proud.. I cringe at every second sentence he comes out with during his commentary on televised swimming events. I wish there was another voice for swimming.

Is it your daughter you swim for, or is it yourself? Her opinion is her opinion and for you take it on gives her control. If you have done something wrong or contrary to established rules or regulations and she calls you on it, she has to back it up. IMO it appears that your reason to get rid of the suits is based solely on how your daughter perceives you.
