Being an average swimmer and not owning a high tech suit I have never cared about what suits others wear. All I wanted to do was swim my own race, although I will admit that winning is fun.
However, at a inter-squad meet this past Friday I borrowed a old fastskin hi-neck kneeskin from my coach. WOW!! What a feeling!!
Swam five events in one hr. (yes I know, a lot for 1 hr.).
Swam "masters" personal best in two events.
Swam a lifetime PB in one event.
The other two events were very repectable swims for me.
I am not bragging, just wanted to find an audience that would understand. Wish I would have bought a suit earlier.
Joel, I admire your attitude. But seeing as it is so close to the ban, I wonder if you would have been better off staying with the old fashioned suits so that in your future swims you won't be dreaming of what might have been.
You are absolutely right Jim. I had packed a pair of my favorite jammers but thought it would be fun to try the fastskin. I guess I will be shopping for some new jammers after the first of the year. I still had fun though.
