FINA says Dubai Charter doesn't apply to Masters

I have always had a beef about the high cost of the suit. I was told that this is America, we buy what we want. It was also bandied about how 500 smackaroos for a suit is chicken feed compared to other sports. If the suit is legal I can sort-of understand the above arguments. Now it appears that the suit is not legal, according to FINA. Unlike your worthlesss suit, your argument about the cost holds no water. Or should I say air. I have my druthers, as well, especially when it comes to paying full retail for anything, suits included. Some of you just aren't very savvy (or seemingly so) when it comes to "buying". I picked up my 2 (two) B70's for a grand total of $ 552.00 (US), one a full and the other a kneeskin (shortjohn). Both brand new, in the mesh bag, price includes tax. (Note: divide by 2 = 276.00 - this is less expensive than a new FSII, retail) If you're talking about $500+ dollar suits, you must be referring to the Speedo LZR, 'cuz you're not anywhere near the realm of the price range for my suit(s).
