I'm confused on all this stuff about suits.
I have a Masters LCM meet this Saturday. Is the B70 illegal? Is the FS Pro legal? I'm going to assume my poly is legal! I didn't get much use out of my B70 so I would have worn it one last time but am I correct in that it's a no go?
Thanks!
I could be wrong on this, and if so, I am sure someone will correct me.
The way I understand the situation is that FINA has not finished the testing on certain suits so no official ruling has been made to ban those suits.
USA-S acted by stating they would only honor the current approved list. What I object to about the USA-S ruling is that if it is an old suit, not on "the list", woman can't wear it if it is even knee length.
USMS adopts USA-S rules unless we specifically vote not to. That has been done. The Rules Com and the Exec Com voted not to follow the lead of USA-S. Therefore, we are still at the same place we were for Clovis and SC nationals.
I do not believe FINA has been clear about "banned" suits and probably won't be until the testing has been finished.
My conclusion is that suits worn at SC national are still legal. The Rules Committee also stated that this could change at any time if FINA makes additional rulings.
