The most substantial change, of course, is that suits would no longer be allowed to extend past the knee.
My personal opinion is this is sort of an arbitrary change. What really should be changed--if anything--is what types of materials are allowed and maybe testing protocol to approve a suit. I don't really think requiring suits to end at the knees would affect much.
It's especially unfair to us masters swimmer parents who give their tech suits to their kids. lol
The concern about LZRs on 14 & unders seems overblown. I've only seen a couple of kids that age in them. But I'll be keeping an eye out this weekend.
