USA Swimming Seeks Support For Swimsuit Ban
By Amy Shipley
Swimming will attempt to rally international support for an immediate ban on swimsuits that extend past the shoulders and knees unless the world governing body of swimming (FINA) in the next two weeks provides a specific plan for reining in suits, USA Swimming President Jim Wood said Wednesday night. “We need feedback from FINA right now,” Wood said.

Dude, this is a Masters swimming forum. USA swimming does not dictate to us. We generally follow FINA rules and USA swimming rules with exceptions. We decide what the exceptions are.
Unless the majority of the people posting here are high caliber USA swimmers, this is a tempest in a teacup.
USA swimming is heavily sponsored by Speedo. Read into that what you will.
The uproar about suits is not over. I would recommend that everyone take a chill pill and enjoy racing in whatever suit you desire that is currently legal. It will doubtless remain so for the rest of the year, at least.
