I don't believe that I have seen this mentioned, but several people have asked me this. Will the walls at Indy LC Nationals be FINA-style flat walls or regular gutter style?
Backstrokers are particularly anxious about this regarding the start, but other strokes are affected at the turns.

I just received this reply from Mel Goldstein regarding my question of whether there would be FINA flat walls at USMS Nationals at IUPUI.
"You betcha!....We will follow all of the Rules unlike other facilities who host LC meets..

Better practice those *** and fly turns with no grabbing the gutter and the backstroke starts without being able to grip the gutter.
