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 even pitched a name: "the record waister". No one was impressed. Oh well.
I think "The Urkel" would have been a more appropriate name.
I'm not sure such suits would be faster, but if they were, it would be an interesting test. Would I be willing to endure the undying ridicule that my wife would heap upon me in the quest for greater speed? I'm pretty sure the answer is no...at least the tech suits LOOKED kind of cool, whatever you thought of them.
