Defeating the purpose?

Hi tech suits, if enhancing the speed and agility of a competor will only work if everyone is wearing them. swimming is a sport based on timing as opposed to tennis and basketball, so here wearing a suit that enhances your speed is definitely, either cheating or pointless, because if everyone wears normal suits, the winner will be the same, as far as making records goes, its definately cheating.

Just let them be as fast as they can be!!!

i believe that hi-tech swim wear is not concidered cheating. these suits are made so the swimmers can go their fastest times when they need to the most. the person in the suit is swimming not the suit itself. if the suits are actually helping swimmers produce the best time that their body’s are capable, the suit only has little affect on the outcome.

swim suits, cheating?

i agree, i think that the suits arnt considered cheating, they just help the swimmer to go the fastest that they are capable of going. you have the choice to wear them and if you dont its ur own fault. even if they dont wear them, they wont be as fast but they still will place close to the same way. its the swimmer swimming not the suit.

Shouldn't the sport progress?

Wouldn’t we expect the sport of competitive swimming to evolve with technology just like every other sport? Skiers get better bindings, better shaped skis that allow better turns, etc. As better equipment is created, the sport gets faster and competition is elevated to a new level. Soon everyone is using the new technology and the search for more advancement continues. It’s still the person competing, but I think the sport is improved. It wouldn’t be the same if all skiers were still using the skis/bindings used in 1950.

The same is true for swimming. First it’s a swim cap and goggles to give an advantage, then removing body hair to cut the least drag. These new suits are just another step allowing the athlete to reach new levels in a sport. If these suits were unavailable to other swimmers, then it might be a different story, however, they are available to anyone who wants to purchase one. When everyone recognizes the benefits and begins to use the new technology, there is no advantage and the search for better technology continues.

“If all the swimmers are clad in these hi-tech suits, it is not cheating.”

So, if everyone cheats, noone cheats >_<

The same thing should be introduced to ski-jumping.

people only complain when they cant afford them and lose. its an excuse for losing. i also agree the swimmer wins a race, not a suit.
