Greg Earhart at collegeswimming.com just posted a column that raises a troubling point about the new suits: collegeswimming.com/.../
What do you think?
I don't think an asterisk is required, but I do think an organization such as the NCAA should consider more strict rules on what types of suits are allowed for NCAA competition. I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that these suits are here to stay for high level FINA and USA Swimming competition, but that doesn't mean other governing bodies can't do something. Age group, high school and college competition should all be thinking about this.
