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.
Because I have not competed since 1998 and that was one time after a 25 year layoff I probably do not deserve to have an opinion.
Anyone deserves to have an opinion but my concern is opinions from folks who do not participate in meets, have no plans to participate in meets and will never participate in meets are being used be used as part of decision making process that affects those who do compete.
