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!

They can't really police compliance, Ahelee. But they could refuse to accept ANY times from countries that didn't follow the initial approval list from the date the list was issued until the date the countries officially reverse their position and announce their compliance. If B70 is not on the June 19 list and USMS reverses policy quickly, that would only be a matter of a couple months perhaps. This would obviously punish swimmers from non-complying countries that are actually complying with the FINA list during this period.
I'm really wondering if FINA will cave and put B70 back on the list until the end of the year, or if USMS will tell FINA to pound sand or cave to a non-B70 list? I guess USMS might be in good company with other non-complying countries. Didn't Germany and Japan also decline to adopt the FINA list?
Wettkampfbestimmungen Fachteile Schwimmen und Masterssport gelten damit unverändert weiter wie die FINA Regel GR 5. Das bedeutet, dass die jeweils aktuelle Positivliste der Schwimmanzüge der FINA nicht für Wettkampfveranstaltungen der Masters im DSV zu beachten ist.

German master swimming verband allows swimmers to use whatever suit they have for now.
