It is in the FINA site, (public release #2) :
Lausanne (SUI) January 16, 2010 – Under the presidency of Dr. Julio C. Maglione, the first 2010 FINA Bureau Meeting took place on January 14-15 in Bangkok (THA) and approved the following main decisions:
.....
14. Swimwear:
....
- Masters: the same swimwear regulations as per pool swimming will be applied from January 1, 2010.
Also in the release we find that:
....
4. Allocation of upcoming FINA events:
....
- FINA World Masters Championships 2012 – Italy (Riccione)
....
That's it people, now let's move ahead.
I am slightly depressed by this decision. As I posted on Facebook:
James Scott Thornton realizes that with FINA's ban of high tech suits, his swimming times will add a bit of time--several decades, actually, per event.
As far as "fast" jammers go, it's hard to imagine anything with that little coverage is likely to make much difference, and I am not inclined to give the swimming equipment industry any more than minimal dollars.
Let us hope that what the scientists call "hedonic adjustment" takes place quickly, and that next year at this time, those of us whose times get worse (by seconds or decades) will have accepted the change and made peace with it!
