“It's unfair to previous record holders, especially for records set some time ago.”
They are not putting water jets on the new suits, the swimmer still has to power it. Technology advances and makes things better ALWAYS. What do you suggest?
Banning technology to protect the past? Should the Wright brothers have been prevented from using a motor on their glider?
Should we be participating in this forum via carrier pigeon or telegraph?
Don't answer that. Most of us probably don't know Morse code.

Correct! We're seeing him from the rear, and all we see in those massive swim trunks is his butt. But for all we know, up in the front he may be mightily endowed with a truly heroic-sized...
...money-clip.

"I want to see the Speedo Burka for the Muslim swimmers."
Why ... Why ... that picture is offensive! I can see her face! The only burkini I will tolerate is one that hides her face completely! Time for me to cut off the head of the first infidel burkini executive I can find.
Ahhh ... that is much better. My blood is not boiling anymore. [still have to find that infidel.]

Why not let the swimmers wear flippers?
Sorry: I think this special equipment thing has gone too far in many sports, making it more a tech race than a sport.
