I recently purchased a Finis Ultimate Drag Suit to use when I swim on Tues, Thurs and Sat with other swimmers. I am consitantly the fastest swimmer there. Often times by a sizeable margin. I thought buying a dragsuit would help even the field so I didn't have so much rest and would give me a hard workout. Unfortunately this drag suit turned me from the fastest swimmer there into the slowest. It's clear that I won't be wearing this suit while I swim with them anytime soon. But I thought maybe a standard drag suit would be the right fit. The Finis suit I'm wearing has 4 pockets that catch additional water.
What's your experience with drag suits. How much do they slow you down.

A drag suit is not necessary because it is not necessary to use anything to slow you down in the first place.
It's the effort that's building your strength, not how fast you go and in a pool, the effort you expend is the same whether you're actually moving or staying still.
Hope that explains the idea.
