These suits are constantly making swimmers better. Those suits that came out a few month before the Sydney Olympics powered many many world and olympics records, not counting all the national records that were set.
These suits in particular are making every singificant record in the book become so far down the chain. You see numerous athletes running under world record time, in the same event. I read recently that a 15 year old females record (I forget the distance) was finally beaten, a time many those would not be touched.
What happens to all those swimmers who had there names to the record books, are they forgoten? I doubt professional swimming governing body cares, cuz more records should mean more viewers. But still how far will technology go, sooner or later they will add a propellor in the suit. lol
Whats everyone opinion on this?
PS: Canadian Swimming Hopes lies with Brendan Hyden in the individual events (100 + 200) and also the 4X200meters.
