This whole tech suit coming back is absolute :censor: crap. FINA got rid of them. Convention Delegates voted to get rid of them. The Executive Board voted to get rid of them (albeit if only delaying the implementation date to June 1). ENOUGH!!
If USMS really wants to promote fitness and a healthy lifestyle as is bolded in the USMS Mission Statement above, then we need to stop turning a blind eye to our members who lead unhealthy lifestyles and stuffing their overweight bodies into slimming tech suits.
Instead, we should be encouraging our membership to, among other things,
challenge themselves more in workouts
participate in swim-related dryland exercise
crosstrain (run, bike, play hockey)
eat healthier and smarter
sleep better
I'm not saying all of our tech-suit wearing membership are fatties. I am saying that those who are need to not be encouraged to continue to stop by Krispy Kreme for coffee and donuts after practice - and that everyone needs to look for healthier alternatives to maintaining and increasing their speed in the water.
