Because of all the variations in all the gadgets and gizmos that have come to the market (and those that could be on their way in the future), any new record set by using a mechanized swimming technique is basically a moot issue.
As I stated in one of my previous posts, the maximum speed will be determined by an individual swimmer’s power to drag ratio and the propulsion efficiency:
U.S. Masters Swimming Discussion Forums - View Single Post - Is there a limit to how fast we can swim?
Therefore any mechanized swimming aid that maximizes the power to drag ratio will also set a new record.
However to be honest and truthful, any new record set using a tech suit should be listed with an asterisk (*) next to it -and it call it a day.
* That little flower-shaped character you see in ads that indicates there's a little bit more to the statement and things aren't quite as good as they seem!!! :cry:
