For those that are not aware, 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 avoid interrupting our short course season and protect the integrity of our competitions in the summer of 2010.

Effective October 1, 2009, swimsuits shall meet the following requirements: For male swimmers, the swimsuit shall not extend below the knees nor above the navel.  For female swimmers, the swimsuit shall not cover the neck, extend past the shoulders, nor past the knee.

A list of Allowable suits is listed on the USA swimming website www.usaswimming.org/USASWeb/ViewNewsArticle.aspx

Not to worry the team suits we have chosen this season are not classified as "tech suits", and are completely fine to wear at our upcoming meets!  This information is simply for curious families interested in possibly purchasing a higher grade suit than the team offers.

Thank You,

Andrew Mcbride
Head Coach
