FCSL Swimsuit Rule amended - See Appendix XXIVStarting summer 2020 tech suits are not allowed in FCSL competition.
FCSL will apply the prohibition to ALL AGES not just 12 & Unders as in USA Swimming: DQ!!
A "Tech Suit" is defined as a suit that has bonded seams, kinetic tape, or meshed seams.
Full explanation is in Appendix XXIV, now posted in Downloads.
To avoid confusion...... regarding what happens in FCSL relay races when a swimmer jumps in the pool before all racers are finished:
FCSL Rules are different from HS (CIAC) or college (NCAA) rules, and follow USA Swimming Rules plus specific FCSL Swimming Rules.
The DQ/penalty is imposed on the swimmer who jumps in, not on the relay-team.
Exception: if the swimmer who jumps in at the wrong time is one of the four swimmers in a relay-team in the race then that relay-team is DQ (disqualified).
