The green suit is not just matt but appears to be faded matt. I suspect that this is an old faded suit photographed a long time ago, probably with a film camera (the pixels don't break up easily. My guess is that this is an early 1980's nylon suit.

There are 2 lines of text on the red suit, and some white text/logo under the swimmers left hand. The photo breaks up as soon as it is zoomed in on, suggesting a basic digital camera.
I suggest the red suit is TYR Durafast: http://www.tyr.com/shop/solid-durafast-racer.html

Thanks Torchwatch, I think you are correct that it is the TYR durafast. It just seems though the depth on the sideseam is less on the diver compared to the pic on the TYR website. Then again, it's hard to tell on the TYR website since they do not shows pics of anybody actually posing in it.

I have emailed TYR again to see if they can tell me the specs on the suit.
Thanks again!
