Right now current suit rules dictate, that
Men wear must wear jammers or briefs in meets &
Women can race in zipperless kneeskins
Guys, what if men were allowed to race in zipperless kneeskins?
I for one think more coverage would allow me to swim faster.
What if masters men were given the choice?
What would you choose?
Ande
No, no and no!
Here's my solution (one that Jim Thornton will embrace): take the number of square inches presently allowed for mens' jammers and make the women have the same amount of fabric, but of course they must cover up the 'naughty bits'. I think what would evolve is a very high cut on the hips (virtually thong-like in the rear) suit. That would be equality in fabric and boost the numbers of volunteer timers.

Herein I make the proposal that rather than bringing men up to the coverage that women currently (unfairly) enjoy, we need to bring women down to the coverage men must now suffer with.
Peter is clearly onto something here, but the easiest and most elegant, Occam's Razor-surviving solution, is to simply make women wear jammers or briefs with pasties for the offensive feed nozzles.
The popularity of this suggestion with the readers of my vlog is overwhelming, particularly when I proposed a water-soluble adhesive that requires licking to ensure a good seal.
I am currently looking to develop the Jim Thornton FINA-Legal Jammers-'n-Pasties Suit for Wet Chicks (TM) and hope to post pictorial updates as they happen on my vlog. Also currently looking for women, preferably in the 19-24 age group, though select members of the 25-29 age group will be considered, to test the prototype adhesives I am developing in my lab.
