PARIS – The International Swimming Federation (FINA) on Saturday approved a series of changes to the revolutionary swimsuits which led to 105 world records being set in 2008 over long-course and short-course distances.
The measures had already been agreed at a meeting in February but were firmed up on Saturday at the end of a three-day meeting in Dubai.
In design, a swimsuit shall not cover the neck and shall not extend past the shoulders nor past the ankles while material shall have a maximum thickness of one millimeter. (AP)
