They now offer a high waisted suit and the model is wearing it closer to his belly button, since the rules changed, I believed more coverage is faster.
The rules say below the belly button and above the knee, but many elite male swimmers wore their suits far below their belly buttons. Giving up a BAND of coverage. I bet we'll see more swimmers wearing their suits higher.
This suit has been fully approved by FINA. However, please note that the official period of approval will not begin until the publication of the FINA List of Approved Swimwear on January 1, 2012. If Speedo Fastskin3 is worn in competition prior to this date, any official records broken while wearing the swimsuit will not be ratified by FINA.
