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.
As an odd aside, if you google images of Nathan Adrian suit malfunction, there is Orca's and my avatar if you scroll among the images. CREEPY (or are *we* creepy for being curious?). They look very strange mingled in with swimmer images. Obviously we wanted to see for ourselves . . . ? Glad I'm a Boston terrier!
