Wet Suits

Why are they almost entirely black? Two thousand people in the water and I'm supposed to pick out my wife, daughter, or a friend, when all of them are in a black outfit? With today's technology it seems a company could produce wet suits in any color.

It's nice age groups have different colored swim caps, at least in the larger races, but that only narrows the group down to 200-400, not nearly enough. If my wife had a pink wet suit and a white cap for her age group, then I might actually see her swimming, even with a crowd.

Another benefit of multi-colored wet suits is that they would help safety and race personnel locate swimmers in the water.
