I get it, swim suits are for decency. If FINA & uss swimming took a firm stance on their own rule, they wouldn't have allowed suits to have any fabric beyond what's necessary for decency. the extra unnecessary fabric is "device that helps our speed, pace or buoyancy during races" Though my stance is wear the fastest sensible legal suit. Which to me is the Blue Seventy Nero Comp Mens Full Body Womens Full body Sounds good to me! Never mind that I just got a new one the other day! :D

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.

A complete ban on swimsuits? Wow, I'm going to have to revise my mental image of USA swimming officials as a bunch of prudes...! Ha ha! That was my first response when I saw the thread title! Dang, now my tan lines will show! :blush:

Maybe USA Swimming is in cahoots with Gillette, Schick and Edge. Back to shaving.
