I am posting this as an informational item only. If you guys want to start another tech suit flame war over this, have at it, but I won't be participating.
Yesterday, I received an email which stated:
United States Masters Swimming is considering whether to allow Tech Suits (ie Blue 70, Speedo Fastskins, etc ) at short course yards meets.
Pacific Masters is polling swimmers who registered for the 2010 Pacific Masters Short Course Championships to find out what our swimmer's opinion is of this proposed rule change. The polling will close at noon, Tuesday September 7th.
This poll should take less than five minutes to complete. We do value your opinion, we hope to find out more about what our members think.
Unfortunately, having responded to the poll questions I can no longer access the poll, or I would post the questions too.
Hmm, comparing something that is perfectly legal in the United States (swimwear) with something that is completely illegal (without a medical prescription).
Paul - you either missed the point Geochuck was trying to make or have chosen to ignore it with a tired old argument. And I know you're too smart to have missed the point.
Let's use a different analogy. It's like having a poll of only backstrokers being allowed to voice their opinion: shall we remove the 15m restriction on underwater SDKs off the start?
Or better yet, let's ask all non-breastrokers how they feel about eliminating the breastroke leg of the IM! :bump:
(I'm just having a little fun with you Paul :bighug:)
