FINA says Dubai Charter doesn't apply to Masters

Any word on the NIKE tech suits. NIKE is not on the FINA list. Is this because NIKE is not making tech suits or are there problems with the NIKE Hydra? One of my former high school swimmers is wearing one for a Fireman's Game Meet. I told him I thought NIKE suits came early and were not part of the discussion. What's the word out there? Thanks, Dave

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...

I (surprise) am against letting anyone wear banned suits in competition till they wear out. Shall I shelve my suit for a decade, pull it out when I feel the urge to swim an artifically fast time? Shall I be a good capitalist and purchase nine suits now, saving them for my moment of glory years from now? I think all of the banned suits are worn out now. An asterisk should be placed on the forehead of the dummies that allowed them in the pool in the first place.

Who is Harry Reems and how do you know about him?

Harry set a record of over 600 million dollars for one of his films but he died before he received the credits.

Glad about this news at least. If anyone thinks he / she will set WR, they might want to be cautious with suits. So that simple as i see. For me, i m not going to set any WR, therefore, i can swim in B70 or Jaked unless it will be banned by USMS president. Basta!

My consience is clear. My conscience is not now, nor has it ever been, nor is it likely to ever be, clear. Translucent, perhaps. But clear? I just don't think that is in the cards for me.

I swam in the SCM Nationals in Toronto:canada: and I don't remember many swimmers in high tech suits, but there were a few.......I didn't wear one for my swims this year, some would call me foolish. My consience is clear. Assumming it remains legal, I intend to compete in USMS competition, in the FINA banned, Blue70. My conscience will be clear (a fiqure of speech Jim) and my checking account balance will be $500 fatter, than if I had purchased the FINA legal, LZR.

I can't wait for more info??!!
