"International swimming has been engulfed by "suit wars" since the LZR Racer broke the mould early last year. By the end of the year, 108 new records had been set. Even when doping was rife in the 1970s and 1980s, records did not fall with such abandon.
By the time swimming's governing body, Fina, met at Dubai in March, the second generation of super suits was launched. The second-generation suits are 100% polyurethane and impermeable, and are so tight that swimmers take up to 40 minutes to put them on."
It seems to me that there should be a LeMans start. Swimmers have to run to their suits, get in them, then do the race.
