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.
CAA Conference Championships were held at GMU this weekend-

I haven't looked at the results in detail, but I'd estimate that over 1/3 of the events had new conference records set, both male and female. Like the study that Chris posted, it seems that the suits are of more limited benefit to fast kids.
