not surprising, swim suits are for decency. FINA finally took the correct stance on their own rule, they aren't allowing suits to have much more fabric beyond what's necessary for decency. The extra unnecessary fabric is "device that helps our speed, pace or buoyancy during races"
The proper thing to do is to "reset" swimming world records back a few years, it's not really fair for men in jammers & women in knee skins to try to break records swimmers did in full body tech suits. Let's go back to WR times done by swimmers who wore qualifying suits, like Popov's 21.6 50 WR then let the breaking begin.
But the real question for us is
What is FINA & USMS going to do with suit rules for masters?
why not let masters use up the excess inventory of fullbody suits?
