More on the LZR suit

Some more headlines that the suit is generating:

"The NCAA has decided that the competitors will not be allowed to use the suit at this weekend's men's Division I Swimming and Diving Championships because of accessibility issues."

2 more World Records set today in Australia..

Here are the new World Records since the middle of February. I'm sure many more will continue to fall through the spring and early summer in the lead-up to Beijing. The US Olympic Trials are the first week of July, not sure whether they will allow the suit or not. I'm thinking they will.

Canadian Trials begin on Monday in Montreal, and no one there will be allowed to wear the LZR, as the supply of the suit is short, so not every competitor will have access to the suit. My old club (Newmarket Stingrays) are sending 8 members to Trials.
