  • I have aproblem with this ascertion. If the suits trapped air, then that would increase over all bouyancy but yet most swimmers were reporting being able to stay under water for longer, so much so that a lot of swimmers were reducing the number of SDKs being taken for fear of breaking the 15m mark. For me, I found that I was routinely surfacing at or slightly past the 15m mark on breaststroke starts and going past the 10m mark off turns with the B70 but being well short of those marks in my Fastskin. True some of that maybe the increased slide factor but I just don't buy the 'air trapping' arguement as an advantage. But then again, it's also :dedhorse::dedhorse: You stay under further due to the increased slipperyness.The buoyancy is more noticeable on the surface(or if you get the dreaded bubble butt.) It's not:dedhorse: until the rules change for Masters.
