I started a similar poll before,but time has changed things and I thought since USMS is going to have to do something definitive so they should have some input from the forumites
Even after all this discussion about whether the tech suits should be banned or not because of the advantages to some and not to all, I am extremely concerned that the sport of swimming will take a major hit with the general public and lose popularity if ALL tech suits are banned.
The growth we have seen over the past couple of years in the sport of swimming has a lot to do with Michael Phelps of course, but also because of the new technology that the sport has allowed into its arena. I do think this HAS to come into consideration by our governing bodies to keep continued growth.
