Learn more about American swimming superstar Ryan Lochte.
While Michael Phelps is arguably the most well-rounded swimmer of all time, one thing he is not, is a breaststroker. You can classify Phelps as butterflier, an IM’er, or a freestyler, but he’s not a breaststroker. It’s nothing personal against Phelps – in fact, neither are Ryan Lochte, Natalie Coughlin, or Missy Franklin, for that matter.
"Hey have you guys ever used leggings as a drag suit? I was wondering because my coach wants me to start using a drag suit but i'd rather wear leggings over my suit. Thanks!"
Yeah! I actually really liked it. But, I found that it didn’t create so much drag so I combined it with another drag suit. It’s cool because you can get them in crazy colors and patterns :)
