The increased buoyancy and propulsion really helped though! keeps people out of your lane too I would think the bubbles in your suit would increase drag though, countering any benefit you receive from increased buoyancy. |

Pro 9391 Omaha, NE | Subject: RE: Found a new way to swim faster.. it's funny, on a serious note I've thought the same thing. After a Chipotle or Qdoba with beans I tend to be a little gassy and have wondered if it gives me a buoyancy boost and any speed increase with the trapped air in my suit. lol |

Although, we can keep this quiet and no one will know that they can save 10 seconds over a 2 mile swim when they eat Chipotle before it. |

Member 58 | Subject: RE: Found a new way to swim faster.. Now I am hungry, I think I might have to try this one tonight because chipotle is my favorite thing to eat. I just dont know if I would be able to swim after eating a 2 pound burrito. Edited by hattr21 2011-07-21 7:44 AM |

I kind of pictured it as an ersatz pull-buoy. |

Extreme Veteran 3177 | Subject: RE: Found a new way to swim faster.. I think it would be more the "oh my god I have to finish my workout before I can use the bathroom" issue that would make you swim faster without caring... |

Pro 4723 CyFair | Subject: RE: Found a new way to swim faster.. Agree with the natural pull buoy theory. For all you greenies out there stressing about what the foam from the pull buoys is doing to the environment here you go.... but wait.... the methane?!?!?!?! |
