During the SPMA meet, I floated a Tech suit compromise by a few swimmers and they all seemed to be very interested. I am sure this has been suggested before, but here is goes -
- allow all current tech suits for all yards meets for the next 3 years (you can always revisit this)
- adopt what FINA issues in January for all meters meets
I think both "sides" could live with this, USMS can still say they comply with FINA, but the tech suit "junkies" can still have a full season each year.

While I love the tech suits and do not support their banning, and consider Speedo and their paid coaches to be the devil's apprentices, I think that USMS and FINA Masters should simply follow the (idiotic) guidelines set out by FINA, USAS and the other governing bodies.
And when they reverse their ban in 2011, we can switch back again.
