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
How many folks out there refused to make peace with the (albeit temporary) tech suit paradigm? Some of those people still showed up to meets and swam despite being at a disadvantage.
I think this is a great point. Especially at the big, end of season type meets there may well have been swimmers out there who elected not to swim since they knew they wouldn't be competitive without dropping major coin on a suit.
