November 18, 2009 Since the Americans are wearing shiney suits and we have outlawed them effective October 1, will the new world records be American records in illegal suits? Submitted by: kccoachmike
November 18, 2009 The U.S. only banned the suits domestically until Jan. 1, 2010. Swimmers are allowed to wear whatever FINA allows on the international circuit until then.
Therefore, the records will likely stand. It's still USA Swimming's call, but I don't see them not recognizing the records - especially since they've reported them on their site as records. Submitted by: Jason Marsteller
