Really only have taken a good look at the 100 breastroke (men) times, but, over-all really slow (in my opinion) No world records. Has the suits made that much difference? I don't know. Pool conditions-weather-who knows??
Leslie is frequently right.
However, before her most recent "I told you so" is 100 percent validated, I think we may need more data.
Jack Martin just told me the 200 free results are in, and the winning time in my age group is a 2:14--the same that I did last year. Nobody is going to mistake me for a world beater. The suit has clearly made a difference in men.
Let me post the times for the 200 in my and Leslie's age group, this year and in 2008:
