Not sure how I feel about this yet. Seems like it is definately making swimmers faster.

Grant Hackett makes a valid point when he says that sports technology has improved all sports so why should swimming be any different.

But on the other hand if the suit is actually increasing swimmers' buoyancy I think it is wrong. Thoughts?

Seems like this thing is the swimming equivalent of a bench shirt.Edited by: Poacher

And to think that back when I swam all we wore was a "speedo". I personally don't care as long as the technology is available to everyone. I'm not real big on allowing people to compete in prototypes.
