Rowdy twitters new FINA compromise

Rowdy Gaines is credible: "..This just in...FINA has ruled that shoulders to knees for men and women will be allowed (vs original ruling of jammers)..textile only."

My take: FINA is so fickle that both the NCAA and the USMS should not do a thing suit wise till 2011 till this organization can gets in ducks in a row.

SHAPE – For men, the swimsuit shall not extend above the navel nor below the knee, and for women, shall not cover the neck, extend past the shoulder, nor extend below knee. Furthermore, no zippers or other fastening system is allowed.

That's what FINA announced today after that Rowdy tweet.

Also, apparently discussed and potentially an aim is a unisex suit setup since men have complained of discrimination with the new ruling.

i feel like FINA is SOO wishy washy about everything! they just go along with what other people tell them to do. they need to grow a back bone and start making proactive decisions!

also, zippers will have to be allowed in order for men to get into a short john style suit!
