I H S A suit ruling

[orca1946]

Well IHSA has, of today, banned tech suits in line with FINA. They have used the same rules as FINA to apply to all H S teams. Can Masters be far away?

As I posted on your thread in the "General Swimming" category....

Good for them!

Now I hope that several of the kids blow by some of the "suit" records so we can forgo any discussion of two sets of state records. It will be fun to watch, either way.

I just returned a long leg Speedo FS !! to swimoutlet.com before they knew it was to be banned. Got lucky I guess !

I hope USMS keeps the zippers!!! The women's locker room sounds like a busy night at a trauma center as it is with us getting into our suits with all the groaning and moaning--zippers are good!

Nope !! No zippers or fasteners. How about velcro ? That makes a cool sound !

You are jumping the gun. Masters(FINA Masters or USMS) have yet to issue a ruling on the suits. So, zippers are still legal for us until told otherwise.

H S & FINA went with the change . How long b 4 masters does also ?
