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 wore a high-tech suit at USMS nationals. I went really fast. I didn't even get wet. :)
The 9 people who finished ahead of me all also wore the suits and they went really faster.
The finish results probably would have been the same if we were swimming in sweat suits. (my age group coach had me do practices like that).
It was nice to be able to brag that my time hasn't changed in three years, but that's really not true and we all know that.
