Should USMS follow "suit" ?

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? John Smith

    -- The suits will soon be gone, no matter what USMS decides. I may be mistaken, but I don't think masters swimming can support the likes of Jaked, Arena, Speedo, B70 making those suits or coming up with new ones. You are forgetting about the legions of deep-pocketed triathletes who spend large amounts of dough for performance. I have been seeing quite a few TYR Soyaronas at tri events.
