Hey can any one give me some info as to a list of suits that are legal for 2010! I have not found any info that is of help. I am doing a 10k race in Aug and don't want to get DQ because of suit stuff. I have a Blueseventy 10k that i did race in last year but think they might be off the list. ANY help any one can give me would be great!!!!

Based on the information provided by the USMS Open Water head, Heather Hagadorn if it is a USMS Championship it is likely that your Blueseventy Nero 10K will be legal.
Belated Newsflash: Nothing has changed for 2010 USMS Open Water Swimwear rules! Nothing will change when/if FINA updates its open water swimwear rules in June!
USMS rules for open water allow for the same swimwear as in 2009. Information regarding legal 2009 swimsuits are located on the Rules Page: http://www.usms.org/rules/.

However many butt's. Is the event your doing a USMS Championship or even sanctioned event? Based on how I read the rule on sanctioned non championship events the local director of race can modify suit rules and may preclude the suit. Finally many open water events have no relationship with USMS, USA swimming or FINA for that matter so it is entirely up to the local race director/committee on what suits are legal.
