In today's world, why is USMS nationals entry date 5 weeks before nationals? Our local Pac Masters championship meet (about 900 swimmers in 2010) entry's are dues after USMS nationals dead line. Our meet is 3 weeks before nationals.
...pretty close to last year...when you didn't train very hard, didn't need to taper, didn't need to shave down to race because all you had to do was have $$$$$ to buy a rubber boat with built in engine (B70), zip it on, dive in, and touch the wall in record time!!!
As you can tell, I'm glad the tech suit era is dead and gone. :bliss:
This worn out mantra was dated 18 months ago and is absurd. Most people considered the suits as a compliment to their hard training - a way to capitalize on the hard work. It was in no way a crutch.
And, as to $$, by the end of the era I was able to get three full body suits for a grand total of $100. And, it really doesn't make a bit of difference how someone else spends their money for their sport.
