Swim World Feeling Affects of New Suit Regulations
June 26th, 2009 - byUSA Swimming will host their National Championships and World Championship Trials this July 7-11 in Indianapolis, IN with big adjustments as they adhere to FINA’s new rules regarding swimsuits. On, June 1st, USA Swimming announced an amendment to it’s rules that reflect the changes that FINA made back in May. Earlier this week, USA swimming also confirmed that it has adopted the newly revised list of approved suits released by FINA.
The protocol for swimmers and swimsuit manufacturers will change dramatically this year and this should be quite evident as they all gather for the USA National Championships. Swimmers will have to undergo a swimsuit evaluation before entering the water.
Swimsuit manufacturers will be limited to bringing only FINA/USA Swimming approved suits to the Championships.
