Swimming -- SWIMWEAR AND EQUALITY: , posted : 02/02/2010
A Guidance Note Introduction The ASA and British Swimming strive to be inclusive and to promote diversity within the aquatic disciplines. The aquatic disciplines can and should be enjoyed and made accessible to everyone. As a mark of its commitment, the ASA (and British Swimming) have obtained the intermediate level of the equality standards for sport and hope to achieve the advanced level by 2013. However, the ASA has become aware that a recent change to its swimwear rules has inadvertently caused participation problems for some of its members. Background By way of background, the international governing body of swimming, FINA, recently changed its own swimwear rules, in order to address the impact of technological advances upon the sport. The ASA (and British Swimming) therefore adopted the subsequent rules change given their respective affiliation to the international body. The relevant ASA rule is Regulation 411 (Costumes) which was amended from 1st January 2010, to be in line with FINAs rules. It now reads: The swimwear (swimsuit, cap and goggles) of competitors in all competitions shall be in accordance with the FINA General Rules and By Laws on swimwear, in force on the date of competition. This means - among other requirements - that the swimwear worn at swimming competitions (including Masters swimming) held under ASA rules must be the following shape1: for men, it must not extend above the navel nor below the knee, and for women, shall not cover the neck, extend past the shoulder nor shall extend past the knee.
