Can one be DQ'd at a USMS sanctioned meet if your suit falls off upon diving in and you find yourself nude? Or if it starts to slide down, down, down during a race until, oops! it's off?
I know my options if my suit were to malfunction during a race and I wished to continue would be to (a) stop in the middle as long as I didn't touch the lane lines or put my feet on the bottom of the pool, or (b) stop at a wall and do all adjustments there.
But if it plumb came off, would I get DQ'd?
Curious, here.
You never can predict a race.

I'm trying to post a poll but may not be able to figure out how, re suit malfunctions.
I'm usually a lurker, but had to reply to this one...
There's an article (with pics!) on swimswam of Nathan Adrian splitting the back of his jammers open as he started his dive. He finished the race. Not quite sure what race and where, as my attention wasn't on that detail.
