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

  • Here's where the math becomes challenging. Which 100 time do you use for the denominator? You're trying to find out how much slower you'll go with a non-tech suit, so your baseline is the tech suit. The calculation would be 2/52.9 = 3.8% Conversely, if you wanted to know how much faster the tech suit is compared to jammers it would be 2/54.9 = 3.6%.
