A reminder re swimwear!!!!

From January 2009, the rules changed regarding what swim suits can be worn for competition swimming as determined by FINA the sports governing body.

Please be aware that Female swimmers will only be allowed to use costumes that do not extend past the knee and do not cover the arms whilst the Male swimmers can only wear trunks or jammers (i.e from the hip to the knee)

Textile fabric only.

There are a lot of websites/shops selling swimsuits cheaply. Please make sure you buy the correct gear for competion swimming.

ALSO PLEASE NOTE, in competition swimming, the swimmers are NOT permitted to wear two costumes. If caught they will be disqualified.
