    Fine, but you are arguing a lost cause. The suits have been banned already by FINA, USA-S, NCAA and high school. Why shouldn't masters follow? Because of creaky knees, skin cancer, and beer guts? Or because "it's just masters" so it doesn't matter? In other words, we can't handle "naked" swimming like the rest of the world. How is that not demeaning to us? Simply because other agencies made a bad decision does not necessitate our following suit (no pun intended). We disagree Chris. That's okay.
