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.

I just say NO SUITS period! :applaud:
Well, then someone would complain that their "parts" are bigger and slowing them down more or some crap. :bolt:
Hey Lump
I'll second that! :bouncing:
As I've (and others have) said over and over 'til we're blue in the face, this "suit technology" stuff is a bunch of nonsensical marketing gimmickry cooked up by Speedo, Nike, Arena and others. :bitching:
FINA's rules regarding suits should just go back to the plain old briefs like Mark Spitz and others wore in the 1970s.
End of discussion -period. :applaud:
