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.
And I agree swimming has got to be one of the cheapes sports out there.
I was under this misconception for a while as well. If you sit down and add up the gear, the dues, the meet fees, the travel costs, the team parties, the required suits and tshirts, it isn't nearly as cheap as you want to believe.
