Approved Swimwear:

USA Swimming has passed new important rule changes relating to swimsuits worn in all USA Swimming sanctioned and approved competition, or in any observed swim. These new rules, which are effective October 1, 2009, significantly change the types of swimsuits which may be worn in competition. In July, 2009, FINA, the international governing body for the sport of swimming, adopted new rules effective January 1, 2010, which specify the design and construction of swimsuits which may be used in competition. USA Swimming Rules & Regulations Committee changed USA Swimming’s rules to conform to those of FINA.
