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. Didn't feel any diffference in my glide.
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.
Very interesting.
If this advantage proves more than just idiosyncratic, I think the handicappers at FINA are going to have to take a close look at it.
My prediction: eventually, anything giving any advantage whatsoever to any swimmer will have to be eliminated for the sake of fairness.
Then the long prophesied Golden Age of Totally Nude Swimming Competitions will finally be here.
Priapismic lap dancing consorters like Michael Phelps might find he no longer is quite so streamlined as he once was. Meanwhile, older, unendowed, Viagra-shunning masters, especially when swimming in frigid waters, might find we own the pool, so to speak.
I can't wait.
