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.
Q: who cares what the rest of the world does?
A: anyone with a valid passport and a visa card.

Hmmm. Nice list. By the way, I've been to 3 of those countries on your list.
You don't have to have a valid passport and visa to care about what the rest of the world does.
Having been to 11 different countries besides the U.S., I can assure you that I have a passport. Just because I have a passport doesn't mean I think we should do everything the rest of the world does.
Just because the rest of the world does SCM does not mean we have to move away from SCY. It's the American tradition and there is nothing wrong with it.
P.S. Maybe one of these days, I will see you at a meet and share my trip to Kazakhstan with you. Quite a cool experience.
