That Guy joked about it, but it is a fair point. If a suit is not on the Fina list but used in a record-swimming performance will the record not be granted? We immediately jump to thoughts of tech suits like the X Glide, but how about some training suit? You can't set a WR in a nylon suit?! That doesn't make sense.
Is there a rule that covers this case? If not, then the anti-tech suit crowd should be up in arms. Why? Because this list means that you MUST wear a "tech suit" (if you want a record). Of course I consider all of the suits other than a brief, for men, to be a tech suit.
