OK, supposing the FINA dosn't change their ruling again, can someone explain down to the suit name what will be allowed for men and women. I am under the impression that we are going back to the FSII style suit fabircs and the Tyr tracer light type suits. For both men and women we can still wear the full body type suit.
True or not true??

Well overall, I think that the men's suits not being allowed to go below the knee is taking it way back to the dark ages. I agree with the tech suits to a point, which is why FINA is in place to regulate the sport. That being said, they did a very bad job and it has hurt our sport. Going back to just briefs or jammers is not the ideal ruling, to me this was a political statment becasue of the negative press and the backlash that FINA was taking so they just in a stike of the pen eliminated the problem....they just do not, as any political organization, know how to manage or lead.
Now that that is off my chest, I plan on buying a jaked or B70 suit off of ebay to use in masters meets till at least December. I used the Tyr rise in zones and loved it. Mostly for me it was a psychological boost.
