FINA issued Ruled,www.usms.org/.../showpost.php
Soon the USMS rules committee will issue their ruling.
SCM & LCM seems to be a done deal, the 2010 seasons started on Jan 1, 2010 & the rule began on Jan 1, 2010.
SCY is an American thing. The 2009 - 2010 SCY season began on June 1st 2009 and ends on May 31st 2010.
Will the new suit rules take effect immediately or at the end of this season?
I've heard rumours we might be able to wear full body suits at 2010 SCY Nats.
Look forward to finding out what the USMS ruling will be for SCY.
1/15/10 FINA BUREAU CONSIDERS SWIMWEAR RULES FOR MASTERS
The FINA Bureau has considered Masters swimwear rules. The USMS Rules Committee will learn the results shortly and then will immediately reconsider the USMS swimwear rules in cooperation with the USMS Executive Committee. All USMS members will be notified of any changes to USMS swimwear rules and the effective date. Regardless of any changes to the USMS swimwear rules, the June 1, 2009 USMS swimwear interpretations will apply for the duration of the One Hour Postal Swim being conducted in January 2010.

Here is my question for those of us that think USMS has made the wrong decision by allowing the tech suits to continue though the scy season.
How many of us will use a bodysuit for USMS SCY meets and how many will start using 2010 legal suits?
I think Midas said something to the effect "if everyone else is going to use one..."
I seem to recall Midas saying in an earlier thread that he would henceforth only use jammers to avoid hypocrisy since he supported the tech suit ban and thinks "cheating" tech suits are ruining the sport? :bolt:
I'm using my B70, naturally (which is a "2010 legal suit" in SCY). My $100 suit only has a few swims in it. Plus, I will be celebrating my second anniversary of wearing almost exclusively B70 at every meet I've swum in. :) And I'm anxious to have an "apples to apples" comparison of times.
