FINA Puts Out List of Approved 2010 Suits
FINA Puts Out List of Approved 2010 Suits
FINA approved a list of suits for use in 2010. (Mark J. Terrill, Associated Press)
The world swimming governing body (FINA) on Thursday put out a list of approved suits for the 2010 competitive season. Note the list (below) includes no Blueseventies, adidas or Jaked suits, and the Speedo LZR’s that have been approved have awfully similar names to the now-banned prior suits. (The new “range is fully compliant with the new FINA rules,” FINA spokesperson Audra Silverman said.)
Another list is expected in December on the second round of submissions from suit companies, but here are the suits approved so far:
