Guys i am new in the forum and i have got very little idea about the new swimsuits and i am really confused about them. so i want to ask a few questions about them. Is polyurethane and polyamide the same material ? I wore a jammer which contained 80% polyamide and 20% elastene and then I saw that the speedo LZR contains 75% polyamide and 25% elastene. It is really confusing cause is it the polyamide that is making LZR so fast ? If so then the thing that i am wearing, will it be banned too ? are all the suits containing polyamide will be banned ? Please answer my questions......................................................
as of 10/01/2009 United States Swimming banned sull body suits & suits with non permeable fabrics.
Men can wear Jammers. Women can wear kneeskins with no zipper.
here's the USA swimming list of Approved suits
FINA's ban begins 01/01/2010
Right now the effective rules are FINAs from June 19th
MASTERS FINA & USMS are currently following the June 19th Suit rules. They have not announced what the new rules will be or when the new rules begin. Rule changes will happen. They might exactly match FINA & USA swimming, but there could be differences.
U.S. Masters Swimming issued a Statement on Swimsuits on 10/11/09
