New Swim Suit Rules
In light of new swimsuit testing and approval being conducted by FINA, the following is US Masters Swimming’s official interpretation of swimwear rule 102.14:

Technical Suits
FINA approval or rejection of swimwear introduced after September 30, 2007, will be accepted by U.S. Masters Swimming for sanctioned and recognized competitions. 

Two Suits
The following interpretation regarding the use of two suits during competition is effective immediately, which conforms to recent interpretations by FINA and USA Swimming.

The use of more than one suit at a time during any US Masters Swimming sanctioned or recognized competition is prohibited.

Read a Q&A about the specifics of these two rules.
