We can handle it just fine--it's called aging--but some of us just don't think the FINA decision makes much sense.
Maybe "handle" isn't the right word, but I would imagine most masters swimmers would prefer to not add the time and that is the primary reason for USMS might not following suit. I just can't imagine that wearing tech suits for the slimming girdle effect or even avoiding skin cancer is the reason why USMS should keep tech suits. We can all handle aging because we have no choice and we can handle it equally as well with or without tech suits. Let's just be honest about why we want to keep them.
