Reference List for Allowable
Swimsuits Under
USA Swimming Rule 102.9 (9/29/2009)
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.
