As some of you noticed, the SI Swimming website was offline yesterday as users were inexplicably forwarded to another search website.  A malicious hacker had gotten into the website and changed some of the website code.  The website has been restored from a backup copy and additional safeguards against unauthorized intrusion are now in place. As a result, users who had previously registered with this website will now need to login with a new password.  We apologize for the inconvenience.

On January 4, 2010, FINA, the international governing body for the sport, issued its final list of suits approved for use in competition in 2010. However, USA Swimming expects to receive further guidance from FINA later this month regarding the list. Until such time as we receive that guidance, USA Swimming will continue to allow all swimsuits which are either listed on the final FINA list or meet the criteria below:

  1. Swimsuits for men may not extend above the navel or below the knee and for women may not cover the neck or extend past the shoulders or below the knee;
  2. No zippers or other fastening devices are allowed except for a waist tie on a brief or jammer; and
  3. Suits must be of textile material and must not be made of any rubberized type of material such as polyurethane or neoprene.

If you have questions regarding this, please send an email to USA Swimming.
