No more full bodysuits for Masters, World Masters 2012 in Riccione!

January 17th, 2010

This is how it will look at Masters competitions from now on.

This is how it will look at Masters competitions from now on.

The FINA (The International Swimming Federation) Masters committeé has decided that the full body suits that we have been swimming in (in differnt forms, shapes and materials) the last 13-14 years will not be allowed anymore. Men kan wear swimsuits that goes down to the knee but do not cover knees or bellybutton. :) Read more on FINAS website: www.fina.org

Will new records be broken? Of course! Masters swimmers age up, brake new records which are broken again by other swimmers. Masters swimming is a fast growing sport and the level of the competitions and records are just getting better and better!

FINA also decided that the World Masters Championships 2012 will be held in Riccione, Italy! After successfully organising the World Masters in 2004 they get again the opportunity to host what I belive will be the biggest Masters competition ever! Looking foward to swim there again, especially since I then swim in a new age group! But first; lets meet in Göteborg!
