On this forum I read that FINA was meeting at the end of March to determine what suits would be legal based on criteria concerning material, permeability, etc., and that the decision would apply to USMS as well. B70 is offering a good discount on its Nero suit in April. If it is illegal after January 1, 2009, that means it's use would be limited to summer and fall. Does anyone know what FINA has decided? Is the B70 going to be legal or illegal next year?
I appreciate hearing from anyone who knows. There are a couple of days left in April and I can still get a discount!
I bought a new B70 and finally received it last Friday.
If you swim in a lot of meets like I do, I think its worth it.
Even if they ban the suit in 2010, by that time my suit will be history.
I just hope the new B70 model won't be $500.+ to accomodate the $200. discount offered to replace our banned model.
But you know me... I completely trust that B70 will be more than fair to the strong supporters they have in masters swimming.
I do love my new Nero suit - even if I bobbed like a cork last weekend... my wounds from the lane lines are healing -and my times improved quite a bit.
See you in Clovis.
