It seems compressed muscles tire less easily and are more efficient. recent designs of swimsuits exploit this. So finally we know why superheroes wear those bodyformed wonders!

It also doesnt explain why everyone is so upset that swimmers are using modern technology. If the new swimsuits cost about as much as the old ones, why cant everyone just use them?

Because with the new suits, the contest isn't based on your own hardware anymore. If someone was mad enough, s/he could probably have her suit modelled to fit over her body perfectly with laser mapping and CaT manufacture. The new suits create a very big advantage with lesser drag, muscle tightness, shark skin and other factors.

 

Sure the human factor is still important but its a case of wording of the law vs spirit of the law. If it was possible to add motors to an athletes body, would it be illegal or would it be just another piece of high tech? The argument is to err on the side of human than the side of technology.

I am pretty sure all those comics would have sold a lot less if their female heroines all wore baggy jeans and loose fitting sweaters.

well, I'm just happy I got out of swimming before the sharkskin suits became major. I really don't liked the idea of putting pressure on the boys to go faster.

Oh. I just naturally assumed that he, like all male swimmers nowadays, had had his genitals removed at an early age and replaced by carbon fibre hydroplanes in order to minimise water drag coefficient. How silly of me.

Nah, I was 16 when I quit, but before that if it got to the point where it wouldn't go down I'd just use it as a stabilizer.

It wasn't at the level I was at, you were just looked down on because of the drag.
