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

  • I think there will be about a 4-5% difference(maybe a little more) on average between jammers and speed suits. I think about half of that and maybe less for some. A 4%-5% increase in time is a huge difference to attribute to the suit only. Has anyone had a 5% time decrease by wearing a tech suit while training the exact same way? Tim
