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.
It will be interesting to see what the results of this survey--and any other survey--are considering the respondents in Virginia voted to continue the ban on tech suits for SCY by a margin of five to one. It's hard to imagine that this is really a regional issue, but I guess until we see the results of other surveys, who knows? Maybe there was a strong anti-suit cabal voting in Virginia.
1312 respondents is quite impressive but I wonder what is the % of those who have actually competed in a pool meet in the last 2 years?
