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 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.
As much as I hate to agree with people that want us to go back to briefs and jammers, I think we should have the same suit rules for all three courses.
