enews.earthlink.net/.../top Looks as if ALL "techsuits" are now illegal. Except for those wearing the suits at World Championships this year...

  • USMS does make it's own rules, but surely if USMS is the only hold-out then there will be very limited quantities available and then it does become a fairness issue for USMS. I am just joking about therapy and competitive edge. Can't someone have some fun poking at you tech suit addicts? I am sure everyone will handle slower times well. I see Geek's point somewhat, but I have really never considered tech suits a "cool gear element". I cycle a bit and cycling has a lot cooler stuff and it is by definition a sport that is defined by technology. It is also a sport that isn't defined by world records. I don't get the analogy. Tim Well, FINA has stated that its suit rules don't apply to masters. So there could be a worldwide community of unregulated masters swimmers ... I knew you were joking about therapists; just like I was joking about IQ points. Everyone knows the score. I've said it before -- I'm perfectly happy to swim in a Pro. In fact, I have this year. I do resent the coverage issue and prefer full leg suits.
