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?

I like to go back to a pool where I swam in the past and see how my swimming now compares to how it was then.
I like that occasionally a Masters swimmer qualifies for USA Nationals or even the Olympic trials.
I like it when top swimmers just out of college show up at Masters meets.
When I swam iin high school, the AAU and NCAA (whose rules the high schools followed) had different rules for freestyle turns and false starts. That was confusing.
One sport=one set of rules.
