I guess this means that "anything goes" in masters, unless your national federation places its own limitations on approved suits.

In any event, I think this is a real boneheaded move. The rules regarding suits should be the same for everyone.
Why? Masters already has at least one rule different than age group/elite competiton in terms of swimming. Masters can do breastroke kick for fly while others can't. There are probably some others that I don't know about but why can't we have a separate ruling for suits? Who's it gonna hurt?
