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.

You must remember o geekness, dolpin knows everything about everything, so us mere mortals only know things by actual experience because we have had to get out and due things by first hand accounts, where dolphin has been able to spend hours on a computer reading about something he hasn't tried to do.
Hey Thewookiee
Responding to your rather sarcastic comment, I haven't acquired my knowledge "everything about everything" by just reading articles on a computer and just "rote" recitation of someone else's ideas on a message board. I have given public lectures without the need for notes so I am not some kind of imposter that is magically pulling rabbits out of a hat.
In fact if I gave out my real name, you could Google it and view my bona-fide credentials.
Furthermore it is not necessarry for anyone to actually be a competitive swimmer (or even swim at all) to have the knowledge that buying a tech suit and using it to enhance performance is not an athletic skill.
I'm sorry that my criticism of tech suits has gotten all you hard core competitive swimmers in such a tizzy. But you leave yourselves wide open by being so hostile to people who disagree with you. :argue:
As the old sayings go "It's nothin' to get mad about" and "Don't get your undies in a bundle". :bitching:
