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.

The high flat wall is not a requirement for FINA Masters World records.
Regarding the FINA swimsuit rules, the FINA Executive Director and one of the FINA Masters Technical Commission members said those were not meant for Masters. However, we are waiting to hear an official statement from the FINA Masters Technical Committee as a whole about how these swimwear rules impact Masters.
