Swimsuit Rules Update - Effective 10/1/09

USA Swimming has voted to ban high-tech swimsuits effective on October 1, 2009.  FINA is imposing the ban worldwide on January 1, 2010 but USA Swimming voted for an earlier implementation.  FINA has not finalized the list of allowable suits but there is a partial list available.  The link below to the USA Swimming website explains the ruling and then provides a link to the FINA list of allowable swimsuits.
