Having spent many years breathing Chlorine at more natatoriums then I care to remember, both as a swim parent and swim official getting rid of the suits is the right thing to do.
My swim days ended as this era was just beginning and I had to spend some serious dough on what were called “paper suits” and I can only imagine parents trying to pay for some of the newer versions at $500 a pop.
I don't expect results will change as far as who wins or loses just that the playing field is now less expensive and technology will not factor in to a posted time.

Do you think that Phelps will still lose by about a full body length to Biedermann (who wore a polyurethane hi-tech suit) in his 200 free win over Phelps (who stuck with his once-revolutionary LZR Racer)?
