    On swimming without a tech suit, i've done 5 meets without them, and i've lived. Went 24.40 and 1:00.87 100 fly in prelim swims only, so the tech suit....really a non-issue. There are many, many other factors that can easily make up the difference (real or perceived) for a masters swimmer. I've lived as well. However, try doing some bigger line ups with middle distance and distance events in your non-tech suit and let me know your thoughts on this "non-issue."
