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?

We can allow anything for yards meets, because nobody outside the US really understands or cares and we follow FINA for the real swimming.
Precisely. Suits allowed for yards. Yes.
On the other hand...Meters meets, where FINA rankings count, should be swum according to FINA guidelines.
Unless there is specifically a meet disclaimer saying that it's an American style meters meet where rooting and tooting is welcome, and so in turn are the outlaw suits.
Yippee Eye Oh Kie A.
