If swimmers could swim fast enough to break the existing records they would be doing it. The tech suits were an advantage. W/O them everyone, especially men are slower.
If the suits weren't an advantage they wouldn't have been banned, all those WR's wouldn't have been broken by swimmers wearing them and swimmers would not have paid $400 a pop for them. The fact that in the two full years since they have been banned few WR's have been broken is because of the suits.
