Change of Meet suit?

waves101
With all the FINA/tech-suit hoopla, have you changed your planned meet suit?

  • If I were swimming in LCM nationals this week I'd wear a B70 & have a B70 back up. Looks like the B70, Arena & Jaked were the suits of choice at the 2009 Worlds. I'm not sure if FINA is going to have masters follow the new suit rules. Here's a few tips I wrote: Tip 201 Which Suit Suits you? More info On Racing Suits Tip 214 Even More On Racing Suits Tip 247 Get your Gear When Meets Draw Near FINA approves proposal to ban advanced swimsuits in 2010 NCAA also placing limits on high-tech suits My plan is to wear B70 until I hear that they are banned for masters swimmers. I'm not sure if they will be. Masters could absorb the excess inventory of these suits. if FINA properly enforced their own rule, rule .10 in the 102.10 DISQUALIFICATIONS section of the Usa Swimming Mini Rule book they would have never allowed suits to have more fabric than what is necessary for decency. 102.10 DISQUALIFICATIONS .10 No swimmer is permitted to wear or use any device or substance to help his/her speed, pace or buoyancy during a race. Goggles may be worn, and rubdown oil applied if not considered excessive by the Referee.
