USA Swimming, ever loyal to FINA’s rules and guidelines, is trying to keep up with the governing body’s reversal of their decision to ban certain technical suits. USA Swimming released a statement acknowledging the updated approved suit list and adopted FINA’s suit ruling, however, USA Swimming President, Tim Woods, released a statement:

“…We are highly disappointed by the FINA ruling released Monday, but in order to keep USA Swimming’s rules in compliance with those of the international governing body, we will immediately adopt the revised list of approved swimsuits…” (source)

Disappointment aside, this news means that it is now completely legal to wear your blueseventy Nero in USA Swimming sanctioned events – including World Team Trials.
