Subject: RE: BS: Swimsuits at WCs - what's the fuss?
Apparently the new suits have trapped air (where?) which increases the buoyancy, and so reduces the amount of body in the water and so drag. I'm not sure what compressing the muscles is supposed to do, seems counter intuitive, but the shape is more streamlined. The surface is also smoother, reducing drag.
