Hi,

Does anyone what happened to the post about FINA banning tech suits? If it was removed, what was the reason? If anyone knows, please inform me. I'm asking out of curiosity.

I saw it this morning, and while I was on, the board went down, there was an error message, and when it came back up there were some more spam posts. Maybe it got lost then. I was working on my first "Aqux on Ebay" post, and that disappeared.

I think I started that post Fina post... ;-(

This board used to be so stable.

Yes Justin, I believe it was you who started that post. But I-m not 100% sure. Scotty, don't worry, you're forgiven. Nobody's perfect, we all make mistakes. But as "punishment," you must wear baggy swimshorts for the remainder of the summer. lol

*sigh* half the posts I ever made were in that thread. :cry:

Did anyone see that all the finalists in one of the races at the US Open last week wore briefs? One of the swimmers contacted the other finalists and they all agreed to not use their body suits. Apparently even some of the swimmers aren't necessarily in favor of the suits.

Here's the story on it. http://reachforthewall.com/2009/08/09/a ... on-briefs/

2 thumbs up for the swimmers for wearing swim briefs! I also enjoyed reading the story. Thanks for posting this maddtown.
