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.
We should embrace our quirky American love of a measurement system that has relatively little apparent logic to it
What do you mean? 12 inches to a foot, 3 feet to a yard, 5280 feet or 1760 yards to a mile. One horsepower is 550 ft-lbs/sec. What could be more logical than that? :)
