    As far as "fast" jammers go, it's hard to imagine anything with that little coverage is likely to make much difference, and I am not inclined to give the swimming equipment industry any more than minimal dollars. Jim, This past weekend I tried my FS-PRO jammers for the first time in a meet and the results stunned me. I noticed a HUGE difference in my breaststroke. Starts and turns were faster and longer (almost reached the 15m mark actually) and I felt a lot less fatigue in my legs. I didn't, however, feel any difference in my glide whilst actually swimming. Still, I reckon that I probably did glide farther than usual. Overall, I managed to drop 7.5 secs on my 200m breaststroke -- and while I'm sure anaerobic training and stroke changes certainly made the most difference, the FS-PROs did quite a nice job. Please note that I never used a full body suit -- or leggings for that matter --, so results may vary. Cheers.
