FINA rules apply to meters only. USMS is the only organization that conducts competition in yards. At the convention, we had a hot debate and a close vote on what to do about yards. Everyone agreed to follow FINA's recommendation on meter meets immediately. We debated whether to allow suits through SC Nationals or ban them at the same time as FINA. Because the SC season had just begun, a close vote recommended that we ban suits for yards at the same time. At that time, we expected a decision by the end of Sept. Now that we are so far into SCY season, I honestly don't know what the Rules committee will recommend. Somewhere on the Forum (in this thread?) there is a statement from Rules that tech suits are allowed for the Hour Swim through all of January. I am prepared mentally to change suits whenever the ruling states. I'm not, however, prepared with a substitute suit. I have a B70 and a TYR Tracer Lite, but the TYR is also ankle length.
