WTF? www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/.../21392.asp I guess this means that "anything goes" in masters, unless your national federation places its own limitations on approved suits.

  • Outside of masters swimmers who race frequently,do most people really consider this to be a serious competitive organization anyway? I think anybody who owns a B70 or other tech suit certainly does consider masters swimming to be a serious competitive organization. So I think it's those people who would be most interested in maintaining that perception (even if it is solely in their own minds). In my mind, having a different rule on suits will absolutely hurt any possible perception that USMS is a serious competitive organization.
