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.

Fortunately the entire rest of the world disagrees with you. Pretty much universally known that to be an expert in something means you do it, and do it a significant proficiency level, some might even say an expert level.
You don't swim AT ALL yet pass judgment on swimming matters. You don't have kids yet tell those of us who do we are failures.
I would prefer if you'd provide expert opinions on matters you are qualified to speak on and, thus, might give you more credit, or some credit anyway.

I don't have to be an "expert" on the subject of parenting to know that way too many parents are royally messing up in their responsibility of raising children.
As an example, the U.S. is an under-achieving nation in the math and science fields and parents must share a large part of the blame. This is an emergency situation and parents need to have their children hitting the books and doing their homework -not spending time in after school sports.

This list could go on and on and it's no wonder the U.S. is becoming a 2Nd and 3Rd rate nation in the industrialized world.
