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.
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:)
Good point, it's why I deleted my OP.
It seems to be all for one and one for all within USMS, so I had originally decided to not go there but.... Any poll sent to a group on a matter that directly affects a small sub-set of that group is inherently flawed from the start.
Not to :dedhorse: but the 'techsuit issue' is actually a three-sided argument.
1 - No tech
2 - Textile only tech
3 - Non-textile tech
But a more than significant percentage of non-tech folks like to lump 2 and 3 together, while some pro-tech folks such as myself are dead-set against #3.
