WTF?

I guess this means that "anything goes" in masters, unless your national federation places its own limitations on approved suits.
This situation is worse than no rule.Right NOW it appears that FINA will accept USMS WRs but LCM season is just starting and then we have SCM before 1/1/10.There will be lots of WR times broken by USMS swimmers in that time but will they be WRs.Come on FINA rule committee,pull your head out and say something DEFINITIVE about Masters(and no I don't take comfort in the USMS position as FINA could rule in any arbitrary way their little peabrains tell them to.)
:)
Platform for nomination to FINA board.
I'm curious: is FINA one of those self-constituted entities without an actual mandate? (Like the Joint Commission, for those in hospitals or the medical field - two guys started giving out stars to hospitals back in the fifties, and the rest is history.)
