One Hour Postal

knelson
So if FINA and USMS decide to impose new swimsuit guidelines in January how will this affect the One Hour Postal?

  • The Postal entry form typically says that it is governed by the prior year's Long Distance Rules. So the '09 swim was governed by the '08 Long Distance Rules. I presume the '10 swim will be the same. The '09 Long Distance Rules have their very own suit requirement: 303.6 Swimwear 303.6.1 Swimwear shall be the same as defined in article 102.14.1 and 102.14.2. Goggles, ear plugs and grease shall be allowed. The suit shall be made of a porous material. So is a B70 "made of a porous material"? I have no idea. The two other suit rules referenced have no bearing on the question: 102.14 Swimwear 102.14.1 Design—The swimsuits worn for competition shall be nontransparent and conform to the current concept of the appropriate. The referee shall have authority to bar offenders from competition until they comply with this rule. 102.14.2 Advertising—Products involving tobacco, alcohol or pharmaceuticals containing drugs banned under IOC or FINA rules may not be advertised, but the advertiser’s name only may be used. Offenders may be barred from competition until they comply with this rule.
