SUIT EQUALITY

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

    I for one agree. Its a modesty issue for me. As a man I don't feel comfortable without my top covered when swimming. I train in fastskin kneeskins always. They do make you faster which helps me improve, but I also swim better because I don't feel uncomfortable in the pool with out my top covered. It does seem fair to let men wear an equal type coverage suit. I really want to enter some open water long distance events but the ones I have reviewed in warmer climes don't allow wet suits or full suit swim suits. That is a tough one for me as I don't want to be in public with out a shirt or something on.
