USMS National Sign up date

I decided to tell James he was incorrect in his factual statements (though he is entitled to his opinion that he dislikes tech suits). :banana: Behold and be amazed as I respond to the tech suit offshoot, use smilies and fonts, AND get us back on topic! :banana: Swimming is better off without the tech suits. :banana: Since the tech suit ban, I've been participating in meets, watching video of meets, and reading results of meets of all levels. :banana: The meet results make more sense than they did in 2009. :banana: I do think that the suits are going to make a partial comeback when someone figures out how to make rubber or polyurethane thread which can then be woven into a "textile" suit. :banana: But the current coverage limitations will still be in effect. :banana: In the meantime, this SCY Nationals will be fascinating for all the usual reasons, PLUS we get to find out whether participation levels are affected by the tech suit ban and whether SCY Top Tens are easier to come by this year. :banana: I'm glad that there isn't a way for anyone to change their events or entry times once they've entered, because it would invite all sorts of shenanigans once the psych sheet is out, and also because it would mess up the apples-to-apples comparisons with prior years. :banana: Thanks, I'm here all week, try the veal
