o Female Bladeback
o Female Race John
o Male Brief
o Male Jammer
The USA Swimming House of Delegates, consisting of 438 coach,
official and athlete members, voted to implement new swimsuit
requirements, beginning on October 1. While this earlier
implementation date has created some challenges, it was put in
place to both avoid interrupting our short course season and
protect the integrity of our competitions in the summer of
2010.
The new swimsuit requirements are very specific and technical in
nature, but deal primarily with silhouette and material of the
suits.
FINA will be the ultimate judge of which materials will be
acceptable. However, in an effort to provide clearer
guidance to its membership, USA Swimming asked the major suit
manufacturers, in good faith, to indicate which of their suits meet
the specified criteria. The list of those suits is below.
Please note,
none of these suits should be considered “FINA
approved” until FINA issues its list of 2010 suits.Once FINA
publishes its list, some of the suits below may no longer be
acceptable.
