Hrmm... I wonder how well it would work as a suit... it wouldn't absorb ANY water and you'd literally slip right through the water...
I didn't find anything on the FINA website that dictated what was considered a textile, but here's what the swimwear rule says:
GR 5.4 Before any swimwear of new design, construction or material is used in competition, the manufacturer of such swimwear must submit the swimwear to FINA and obtain approval of FINA.
I think the main thing is that the "fabric" has to be permeable, right?
