Not every body is getting paid the same way as Mikey P. He can afford to skip the tech suits and lay down some (for him) not so great swims. For a lot of the other swimmers this is a shot to make some dough to continue swimming as pros. I'd be in a techsuit too, it's good business. I'm going to go ahead and say he's one of the few swimmers in the world that doesn't need a few bucks here and there to stay afloat between Olympics.
I think that some of Top European swimmers would be making the same amount of money whether they were in a tech suit or not. They seem to treated like the top sports stars in their native country. I think that it would have been cool if all the World Cup participants could have gone back to the old suits as a way to start fresh again or something.
