Titolo: OW master e costumoni

oggi è arrivato in FIN un comunicato FINA
ho dato una letta e per quanto riguarda i master dice:
ai mondiali i costumoni devono essere "omologati", ci vuole il
bollino..
nelle gare OW, vale la stessa regola, cioè dal 1 giugno 2010 si
gareggia con jammer uomo e ciclista donna (vi ricordo che fino al 31
maggio erano consentiti OW i costumi interi)
qui saranno tollerati modelli senza bollino, purchè siano di tessuto,
e rispettino le dimensioni jammer/ciclista
nelle gare in piscina, per qualsiasi record sarà richiesto il bollino
del costume (qualora per qualsiasi motivo non lo controllino prima)
niente di nuovo...
ma formalizzato un po' tutto cio' che accadeva finora in vasca..
chi voleva fa a goteborg l'OW col costumone, si piglia il freddo e
zitto..

chiedo venia avevo letto troppo alla svelta..
questa la norma:
M E M O R A N D U M
TO: ALL FINA MEMBER FEDERATIONS
FROM: FINA, Lausanne
DATE: 17th June 2010
RE: FINA SWIMWEAR RULES – MASTERS SWIMMING
Dear Sirs,
Following the recent decision of the FINA Bureau related to “FINA
SWIMWEAR RULES - MASTERS SWIMMING”, please see below the
amendment to FINA BL 8.5.
BL 8.1, BL 8.2, BL 8.3 and BL 8.4 remain as approved by the FINA
Bureau. The only amendment is to FINA BL 8.5.
Please note that this amendment takes immediate effect and will be
published in the new edition of the FINA Handbook 2009-2013.
BL 8.1 All FINA approved swimwear to be used at the Olympic Games and
FINA World Championships must be approved by FINA at least twelve (12)
months prior to the start of the respective competition. In addition,
it must
be available for all competitors by 1st January of the year of the
Olympic
Games or FINA World Championships
BL 8.2 In swimming competitions, the competitor must wear only one
swimsuit in one or two pieces. No additional items, like arm bands or
leg
bands shall be regarded as parts of a swimsuit.
BL 8.3 From January 1, 2010 swimwear for men shall not extend above
the navel nor below the knee, and for women, shall not cover the neck,
extend past the shoulder, nor shall extend below knee. All swimsuits
shall
be made from textile materials.
BL 8.4 From June 1, 2010 Open Water swimwear for both men and
women shall not cover the neck, extend past the shoulder, nor shall
extend
below the ankle. All Open Water swimsuits shall comply with the FINA
Criteria for Materials and Approval Procedures.
BL 8.5 From January 15, 2010 in Masters Pool Swimming competitions
the rules BL 8.1, BL 8.2 and BL 8.3 apply. From June 1, 2010 the rule
BL
8.4 applies also for the Masters Open Water Swimming competitions.
It is clarified that swimsuits which fulfill the shape requirement set
forth in BL 8.3, respectively BL 8.4 (for Open Water Swimming) can be
accepted even if they do not bear a valid FINA approval label provided
they effectively and evidently fulfill the material requirements set
forth
in the current FINA Requirements for Swimwear Approval. This is the
case for swimsuits made of traditional permeable textile (i.e. open
mesh material) material (such as cotton, Nylon, Lycra and the like)
with no application of surface treatment closing the open mesh
structure. In case of doubt in this respect and when notably such
doubt concerns a swimsuit used at the occasion of a World record,
an actual check of the swimsuit can be required from the competitor
or Certifying Official and the swimsuit is to be forwarded to the FINA
Office for submission to an actual control of all or parts of the
requirements.
Yours sincerely,
Cornel Marculescu
Executive Director

T'è andata bene che ti sei corretto perchè ero già pronto a sbranarti ;o) 
visto che ho un jammer che è nelle liste di omologazione FINA ma è 
sbollinato ...
