  • I quickly take us back to a day when full body suits were allowed! These were the suits that swimmers used back in 2009 and earlier!

    Those were the days. All the kids suddenly were hitting mega PBs when they were banned and everyone could get the LZRs cheap.

      Yes I loved it, so much fun! Wish they'd stayed, imagine how they'd have advanced. Polyurethane with internal taping, pockets of dual layered in certain places. What a dream! I'd love to see the ISL use them if they don't get sanctioned by FINA as world records won't count anyway.

    I am a runner and really enjoyed watching the video. I am thinking that maybe the running shoe Nike Next % and 4% also do similar things for runners, and may be need to be reviewed.

    Actually there are rules in finswimming as well, the suit has to be CMAS approved which is basically like FINA but for finswimming...

    • @TheSwimsuitGuy
      @TheSwimsuitGuy  5 лет назад

      Yes I've seen that they are CMAS approved. The rules just allow a lot more than FINA. Even in 2009 suits had to be FINA Approved. The first Arena X Glide was actually never approved and Fred Bosquets 20.9 never counted. They re released it with 10% less polyurethane.

    What would be the best suit for a guy that is in the navy trying to get competitive times for the 500 doing combat side stroke? I don’t have to have a FINA approved suit, it just has to be a jammer. What should I look for on eBay lol.

    • @TheSwimsuitGuy
      @TheSwimsuitGuy  3 года назад +2

      Literally just get any jammer. You don't need anything fancy, as long as it's not a board short you'll be alright.

      In the UK the brand is wrongly known as T Y R and sometimes i still say that without thinking. If you watch more of my videos I'll probably say a combination of tier and T Y R 😂
