FINA Swimsuit Approval Announced

FINA announced the results of its latest testing under the new Dubai Charter.

The list of approved swimsuits valid until December 31, 2009 is on the FINA website.

After reviewing 348 swimsuits from 21 manufacturers, FINA decided the following:

- 202 swimsuits approved
- 10 rejected for buoyancy and/or thickness
- 136 swimsuits to be modified in accordance with Dubai Charter rule 3.1 c) for not fulfilling the requirement that 'swimsuit material shall not be constructed to or include elements/systems which create air/water trapping effects during use'. These manufacturers have now until June 19th to resubmit the same swimsuit for FINA approval, with the corresponding corrections according to Dubai Charter rule 4.3 d.
