Tim's take on swimskins

Below is an excerpt from an article written by Tim Warsinskey, a US high school sport reporter.

"During the finals, I kept track of the 80 individual and relay champs, 23 wore the controversial Speedo LZR bodysuit, which retails for $550, and 10 wore other LZR products. The most popular was the BlueSeventy bodyskin ($395), worn by 34 state champs. The rest wore a variety of styles from the same or other manufacturers, the cheapest of which is about $200. The LZRs are good for about five to 10 swims. Many of the cheaper suits last longer."
