WTF?

I guess this means that "anything goes" in masters, unless your national federation places its own limitations on approved suits.
I don't see how they can not allow masters WR's, swum in the new tech suits. Since the suits are legal for competition, the WR's set in them should also be legal. The Canadians:canada: swam their SCM National Championship in them and they are legal in German Masters competition.
If USMS doesn't allow them we will actually be at a competitive disadvantage.
I think the problem with WR's will be that some WR's set in "flotation suits" for lack of better terminology, are artificially fast and might not be broken for a decade or more when we transition back to regular tech suits.
So it's possible that we won't see more than a few WR performances in swimming in the next decade.
