I agree with the ban, having swam in HS and college. There is not question the tech suits impact times. They are more buoyant. I race in briefs, and they are my suit of choice, even in the current age of jammers. Having said that, I did compete in tech suits for big events. The whole tech suit thing really came down to necessity. As more guys started to compete in them, you had no choice but to do the same, just to compete on an equal level. I am glad swimming is moving back towards a more simple level. On the other hand, getting in adn out of those tech suits was lots of fun...
