Legal Jammers

There are lots of legal suits available. I prefer the $30.00 suits over the $259.00 suits. Don't forget that jammers with a modesty panel are not allowed.

Not legal. According to the Rule Book, section 102.14.1 C states that "Only swimsuits complying with FINA swimsuit specifications may be worn in any USMS sanctioned or recognized competition." Here is the link to FINA approved suits: www.fina.org/.../index.php The Speedo Endurance suit is not listed. Therefore, not legal. I hope I am wrong, since the Speedo Endurance is my suit of choice. Indeed....however we all see that many wear suits not on that list while swimming at USMS meets.

My waist is 42" I wear a XXXL. Most charts you see re racing suits waist size the swimmers who are wearing them for racing take one or two sizes smaller than sizes posted. All of the TECH jammers that I have looked at are stupid sized ! A XXXL is 36 ?? Some of masters are not sticks ! I have looked a do not see Speedo Endurance jammers listed any where. If I want to use them at S C Nats in April, who can I contact to see if they would be legal?

Thanx George for the info . How do I go about ordering a suit? I would think the modesty panel is a given in both gender suits !

Knelson and Ande I should have said "Don't forget that many jammers with modesty panels are not allowed."

While we’re on the subject of legal VS illegal suits (and the controversy over the validity of the world's records set by using them), I just happened to run across this article: www.newser.com/.../speedo-lzr-racer.html D2

Is it possible it was not the suits fault?? While we’re on the subject of legal VS illegal suits (and the controversy over the validity of the world's records set by using them), I just happened to run across this article: www.newser.com/.../speedo-lzr-racer.html CD

Don't forget that jammers with a modesty panel are not allowed. That isn't true. FINA REQUIREMENTS FOR SWIMWEAR APPROVAL (Regulation valid for swimwear to be used from January 1, 2010) reads: in section 3. CRITERIA 3.1 Swimsuits: (a) Design • Decency: the wearing of the swimsuit shall not offend morality and good taste (in particular but not exclusively because of the cut and exposure of the parts of the body, covered or not) and (b) Material (general) • Variety of materials: Different materials may be used in one swimsuit provided they are textile fabrics as defined above and they comply with all other criteria including notably thickness and permeability (measures to apply to total layers). Combination of materials shall further not create outstanding shape(s) or structure(s). Layered materials must be completely attached / bound / stuck together except where required to protect sensitive parts ("privacy layers").

Is it possible it was not the suits fault?? On that note, opponents of FINA's new rules on what is a "legal" suit are are now making comments similar to the National Rifle Association's comment about what is a "legal" gun. Mainly that “Suits don’t swim –people do” D2

I still think I need to see a list that has Speedo Endurance listed as legal to swim in for Mats !
