OK so now that the SCY season is over and the tech suits got their Viking funeral, it is time to embrace the metric system and wear FINA-barcoded swimsuits! :bliss:
Is anyone else going to the Tualatin Hills meet? I will be driving down and back the same day.

I entered the 100 fly, 50 *** (lulz), 200 IM, 50 fly, and 200 fly. Any gridges out there? Is Allen going to lap me in the 50 LCM breaststroke??? :anim_coffee:
these 7 smilies have arrived to talk those 7 angries in from the ledge
:bliss: :cheerleader: :D :applaud: :angel: :) :banana:
Too funny! Any backstroke tips would be welcome if you see me swim. If you can't stand the sight, I totally understand :bump:
Where? I'd definitely be interested!
make sure to check that they have the 2010 approved stamp. alot of kids over here bought suits they thought were 2010 approved because of the list, but wound up getting older versions of the suits that don't have the stamp. ok for local meets, but not so good for our national meets.
I'm not sure how USMS will look at suits but I had a FS Pro jammer from the US, and still felt compelled to buy something with a stamp on the ass. I would hate to be standing behind the blocks for a race and have the officials pull me over to the side to check the tag of my suit (which I just happened to remove the day i got it because it itched too much). it would through off my pre-race routine.
I have a question about the suits. I bought a non-zipper knee skin Aquapel this weekend after my Fusion started to rip at Nationals. It's not on the list but it's an older tech suit. Is it legal? I swim in USA meets as well. What do I wear there?

I think you'll be fine in any Masters meet with that suit. I really don't know about USAS as I don't compete in those meets, and haven't even attended one since the suit rules change.

I happen to have a tank age group team Speedo suit that should be legal. But it um.. makes things stick out in places that I don't like. Oh well. I'll find out in 2 weeks when I do my first post-ban age group meet.
I just found out we missed the entry deadline while in Atlanta.:bitching:
Citizens! Today, new advances were made in gridge technology. After saying that he missed the deadline, JimRude really was entered in the meet, but didn't show up. And there was a major gridge brewing in the 200 IM: swimmj, Allen Stark, and I were all seeded in the same heat. Whenever you've got 3+ forumites in one heat, you know it's going to be good. But then swimmj and Allen both scratched that event. I'm not sure what to make of all this, so I ask the following:
What is this kind of gridging called?
A) Faux Show
B) Blue Flu
C) Invisibility Cloak
D) Other (please specify)

D)Saving it for the relay.As I previously noted on this thread I said I'd scratch the IM if I had a relay.By the way That Guy was smoking in the 200 fly-2:26 early in the season,unshaved:cheerleader::cheerleader:

Thanks Allen! I was happy with the result. Even better, I know exactly what I can do in training to improve. Even bettererer, it's not very different from what I've been doing. :)
