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?

But winning is also fun. Can you deny that when you swim in a meet you want to win? If you're wearing briefs and the guy next to you is wearing a Jaked your chances are greatly reduced. Obviously you and Paul are talented swimmers, but even you two aren't going to beat a fast swimmer if you're in briefs and he's in a Jaked.
You are correct.... given swimmers of relatively equal speed, the suit will determine the winner. Yes it is fun to win a race.... even at my ripe age of 47. But really, Kirk,........ it's just masters swimming. Perhaps you need to join Paul and I for a beer next nationals. The discussions are usually better than the meet itself.
