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

I think for the most part those with the tech suits are the most hard core, and will likely continue to swim regardless.
I agree. Anyone who drops $400+ on a tech suit and then doesn't compete is probably certifiable.
However, I think that if one has gone so far as to enter meets in the past - with or without a tech suit - the new reg's probably should not cause one to stop competing.
At worst, there will need to be a period of "adjustment" to non suit aided times. Everyone gets an asterisk!
