If the full body rubber suits do end up getting banned, why should USMS follow their lead on this issue? (i.e. assuming the suits would continue to be manufactured).
Isn't Masters mostly for each individual to pursue what they want and the level they want out of the sport?
If the full body suit is preferred by many USMS participants, why not satisfy the base by keeping it available?
What's really the point of forcing old USMS swimmers out of their girdles if FINA bans them?

That's kind of the issue here. For me and big ugly Paul, Masters is a "beer" league and it is for fun.
Well, actions speak louder than words, much much louder. As I recall a certain "team" was assembled of ultra fast elite level USMS swimmers solely for the purpose of breaking a record. This completely nullifies any "beer" league statements or "we don't take it seriously" comments. Further, no beer league I know has participants who regularly get up before 5 am to practice.
I do agree it is fun, especially when I can mock Paul from afar and he can't chase me down and sit on me.
