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.
I think that everyone needs to move on from these tech suits. Enough already.
I agree, Tom. No reason to leave the door half open. Let FINA make their decision and then USMS should follow it immediately. The idea of having different suits allowed for different courses is, frankly, bizarre.
