  • I suppose that USMS will likely go along with the FINA rule so that our world record swims will be recognized. But there really aren't any world records in SCY anyway. So what if USMS opted out for SCY events only, making them a run what ya brung anything goes affair? What fun it would be to be able to blow the dust off the old B70s, Jakeds, or even just an old FSPro full suit for SCY season each year, and it would finally be a reasonably objective way of measuring the advantage provided by the suits.
