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.
You can't claim the best want to be here for our swimming and then claim it's a joke. Obviously, it's not a joke.
We make the rules cause we are king of the mountain, that's how it works.
hahaha
I wonder what the best foreigners training here actually think of SCY? Maybe they think it's a fun diversion.
Personally, I wish masters swimming in the US wasn't so focused on SCY and that there was an equal balance of both or more SCM. It's December and I don't even have SCM times in any of best events -- e.g., 50 back 50 fly, 50 free. I don't see how this is a good thing.
I wouldn't give a toss if SCY was tech suit through the end of the season while the others courses were non-tech suit if FINA bans them. I don't find order and perfect symmetry very compelling. Sounds fun to have a twist for the rest of the season.
