As with all things , it comes down to power and money , there was a definate split on the committee with those who wanted to listen to swimmers needs and wants and address them and those who did not .. .. wanting to milk the fact there was a monopoly
wetsuit swims were also a strong sticking point in the last couple of years and whether to keep it 'pure ' or not
The two groups now reflect that split of opinions , and like I say healthy competition can only result in the swimmers getting treated better so the sport has won in the end
hope that helps a bit
