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.

    A world record is a world record, why do we have to have world records recorded by the old age groupies. No 60 year old sets a true world's record. Old timers would never be able to compete with the likes of Phelps. You oldsters are trying to prove something you are not. There should only be one set of worlds records. There is a true set of world records everything else is a fantasy. If we are going to follow this plan, then there should be NO age group records for younger athletes either. Wonder how that would play with the 8 and under set and their coaches? But, as George points out, they cannot keep up with Michael and should not be trying to prove something...
