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

Rule SW10.7 now reads: No swimmer shall be permitted to use or wear any device or swimsuit that may aid his/her speed, buoyancy or endurance during a competition (such as webbed gloves, flippers, fins, etc.). Goggles may be worn. Any kind of tape on the body is not permitted.
Some purists in Europe are now urging FINA to ban goggles. I must admit, they are an aid to swimming faster. I'd certainly swim slower without goggles.
