FINA clarifies suit rules for Masters

FINA has issued a clarification of the suit rules, which conforms to the MSC interpretation, i.e. that Masters may wear suits that aren't on the FINA approved suit list and don't have the FINA approval label, as long as the suits conform to the FINA rules with respect to coverage and material.  For details and exact wording see the FINA Memorandum:

Comments:

I am told that many swimmers in the 2008 Olympics used flotation suits and claimed to break world records. This is an embarrassment on all humans not just on swimming which is already corrupt. Why do they not have all competitive swimmers use the same suit. This will make it a fair competition and do away with sick endorsements for amateur swimmers.
