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??

I guess that we need to have technology to a degree, I am all for it. Given the development of tennis rackets for instance. Without the composite makeup of the racket frame today, players like Roddick, etc wouldn't have a chance because the racket develops so much power off the serve and groundstrokes. What about the new "track" style starting blocks whcih you can see at the US open. Why should this be allowed, it will give a swimmer more leverage on the start?
Point is, we need to move forward with technology to a degree just as any sport has evolved over time.
