During monday night football last night the announcers were talking about a special type of mouth piece that the New Orleans Saints use that somehow improves flexibility, power, and oxygen flow. Test show that vertical leap, power, and overall performance are better when wearing one of these things. If power is increased while wearing this, wouldn't it be useful to wear one of these things for swimming? I don't want to get in a "tech" argument but I thought this mouthpiece is pretty cool.

I think this is misleading as you have to wear a mouthguard in football so comparisons are with this gizmo versus a regular guard. No way it helps in swimming where you breath unimpeded.

Good point!
What about in a 50 free? If it improves vertical leap then it should improve the start. And if you don't breath and keep your mouth shut, wouldn't the power increase help improve speed?
I'll stick with a fat cup of coffee, you can spend the $2K on the hocum pocum.

Or you could train instead of wasting money.
I'm a bit skeptical about how a mouthpiece can deliver what they say it can. Is it really $2000? Perhaps I should start wearing my bite guard? $2000 would buy me almost 4yrs gym membership.
