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.
I think you read that wrong. The poll was sent to 1312 LMSC members. 184 responded.
Whoops. Then I suspect that represents a fairly significant % of folk that compete.
But to return to an earlier post. My biggest issue with this whole debate/polling thing is that it's doing this:
1 - No Tech suits
2 - Tech suits
The rediculous suit wars of 2008/2009 left a bad taste im my mouth and I _like_ the idea of full body suits. So I can only imagine how folks would react to that choice.
Instead of:
1- No tech suits
2- Textile only tech suits (ala 2007 and earlier)
3 - Modern tech suits
But that's just me.
