Sažetak

The scope of the study was to elaborate and represent different aspects of high-tech suits which infl uence the swimming
results and to justify the change of swimming rules in 2009. Impact of environmental factors on the result should not be
greater than the athlete’s impact. Impact of high-tech suits greatly contributes to the development of technology, new materials
and modern design of sports equipment. The paper describes the genesis of the high-tech swimsuits and provides
an analysis of causes and consequences of its prohibition. The arguments against the suits have an effect on prohibition
of different sports requisites and equipment in all sports. This prohibition directly affects the modern swimmers who will
have diffi culties in breaking the world records swimming in high-tech suits.
