Do any of you guys who follow college swimming have a sense yet about the impact of the FINA tech suit ban is having on elite swimming times?
I tried looking up results this year and last year--I know the Championships haven't taken place yet for the top tier, but some big meet started Feb 17th (and is presumably over now)--but I just couldn't figure out how to find the data necessary to make a preliminary comparison.
Thanks.
I know that there will be individuals who emerge to do great things, but I am just wondering if, on average, the times are collectively going to stay the same, get a little worse, or who knows? improve.
Do you think the A and B time standards will be changed for next year?
