This is very interesting:

What are people who bought one of these for USMS Nationals going to do? I'm sure Arena is going to offer to replace the suits, but with Nationals days away it's going to be tough to get a new one before the meet starts.
Arena, therefore, advised FINA of its decision to withdraw the approval codes of concerned POWERSKIN Carbon-Pro models:
AR220993 – woman full body open back
AR220994 – woman full body closed back
AR141364 – man jammer
Consequently, as of May 7 onwards, all POWERSKIN Carbon-Pro suits to be used in FINA sanctioned events will have the following approval codes:
AR221039 – woman full body open back
AR221028 – woman full body closed back
AR141028 – man jammer
In that article it said USMS still won't allow the suit at nationals even though USA Swimming will allow the suit to be used till June 3. This makes no sense to me.Me either. I'm not swimming in Indy and, if I were, I wouldn't have a Carbon Pro (not worth the $$ for a jammer even if legal IMHO), but, c'mon USMS, let's save a lot of people some headaches this weekend and let the suit in the meet.
