Swimsuit ban puts brakes on records

Swimsuit ban puts brakes on records Not a single long course world record fell in 2010 - after 2009 saw all but four of the current 32 established. So what if no records were broken in lieu of the ban on tech suits? The opinion of many lay people (about Phelps winning all those gold medals in 2009) is that swimming is really not about breaking records through “suit technology” and accordingly, the public has been pretty Hooo Huuum about the records set by using those suits. And from many who watched the swimming events, their attitude was “So what the hell - so why doesn’t FINA just allow swimmers to use paddles and flippers and even more records would be broken?” :confused: D2
