Well, I'm coming back to swim at Master's meets after a 5 year hiatus (surgeries, etc) and find that I cannot wear my "Farmer John" suit bought in 2000 and worn in 4 previous national meets (except this spring). Not a "tech" suit by any means but a hell of a beer-gut bra! Not sure I would get on the blocks without it so the hiatus may continue. Is it worth alienating us "plus-sized" guys over this silly rule? I suppose it will give me yet another reason to dump some weight. Looks like those other 50+ breaststrokers won't get beat by this fat guy any time soon.
Anyone else out there feel the same? I know most of you out there don't have this problem but to have a rule that reduces participation seems counterproductive.

I worked out during my stay in Mexico this past winter, in a very modest heavy duty Jammer with a modesy panel. It soon became a very revelling suit and my wife decided it was to be put in the garbage :bouncing::bouncing::bouncing:
Freudian slip, George? Exactly what kind of beach was this? :)
rev·el Show IPA verb,-eled, -el·ing or (especially British) -elled, -el·ling, noun

1. to take great pleasure or delight
2. to make merry; indulge in boisterous festivities.
