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.

Back in the 70s I weared bored shorts over my spedo any time but practice. Most men I knowed weared skwared leg suites and women weared one-peace suites with the front skirt.
I can't speak for all competitive swimmers like Dolphin 2 can, but back in the 1970s all the competitive swimmers I swam with weared Speedos at workouts and meets only and weared trunks and board shorts to the regular pool or beach.
