It's not buoyancy that is the advantage. It is reduction of friction with the water. Reduced friction = less work to pass through it. The suit is like a teflon coating.
mark, put your damn pants back on. No one, not me or shardian, said he isn't the best right now. Maybe you should go back and read what we're saying again before going off like that.
Hemi:
Do you realize the small degree of changes these guys are willing to try to get some kind of an advantage. As if shaving your leg and chest hair is really going to help them out to reduce friction while swimming. It's kinda silly. ;)

I feel very confident my rooster is bigger than yours. Have you seen my wife?

This thread is worthless without pics.

I concede to mark mostly because his point is very sharp.
shardian:
My contention is not that he is winning because of the pool or the suit. My contention is that the OVERALL TIMES of competitors are FASTER because of BETTER ENGINEERING.
He is breaking world records by seconds. Hell, half the field is usually swimming above WR pace.
