Do you want the tech suit back for SCY?

I'm curious about how general membership that frequents the forums feels about this.

    Lets just say there are a whole lot of people who do not even swim any longer - and have not been active in masters swimming in years who are suddenly coming forward to enforce their out of shape opinions. I want to hear from active swimmers. My own opinion is that I do not swim because of a tech-suit. LOVED swimming in it while it was here - happy I tried it and can personally speak to the reality of swimming in the suit. Will continue swimming in the modified tech-suit that is legal for women. Hope that the sport of swimming keeps their eyes wide open moving forward. And I do hope these individuals who are coming forward, will finally get in the pool and actually be a part of the sport of swimming! Instead of forcing their opinions on those who are actually swimming and working for the good of their sport! Ahelee, You've been the SPMA Secretary since January, and apparently are a big proponent of the tech suit coming back, in last 10 days or so anyways. You were at the convention last year too, when the 'polling' was suggested. How come this issue has never been brought up in the meeting, or made it to the agenda? You and our former chair are close friends, and Chair puts together the agenda. What happened? How come your friends and a cause got so badly neglected? Nobody in the SPMA is holding a gun to someone else's head to prevent them from speaking up in a meeting, regardless of whether they agree or not, and you are in charge of taking the minutes, so I'm sure nothing was omitted.
