If you were a fan of the high tech suits, and
if you swam a SCY 100 freestyle in such a suit at a meet last year around this time of the season, and
if you have swum a SCY 100 freestyle under fairly similar circumstances this year so far, and
if your training is more or less approximately in equal ball parks, and
you are a guy,
then please consider participating in my humble little poll.
Thanks!
It's definitely hard to know for sure. We do a lot of these little meets over the course of the fall and winter, and so I usually get to swim the 100 3-5 teams per season before any "big" meet. Last year, my times for the 100 ranged from 53.35 to 54.20.
This year, I have only swum a 100 SCM (1:01.2, which converts to a 54.90, give or take) and a 55.2 today (my slowest 100 in years).
Neither of these times this year would be bad for me if I could confidently subtract out 1-2 seconds to account from going from a B70 to a jammer. I guess I should probably just mentally make the shift, but it's hard to suddenly shift from thinking that a 55 is a terrible to thinking it's not necessarily that much different that I was swimming before "with assistance."
I suppose we will know more comparing this year's SCM top 10 times to last year's--and even more when this year's SCY top 10 times finally come out next summer!
