WTF?

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.
