Suit ban
147 world records were set during 2009, 42 of those coming at the world championships. This was linked to the Speedo LZR, a suit released in 2008 that covered the shoulders to ankles and featured polyurethane panels, and suits from Jaked and Arena in 2009, which expanded on the LZR's design by covering the entire suits in polyurethane.
The FINA Congress was held in Rome on 24 July 2009, during the world championships, and voted almost unanimously to ban all body-length swimsuits.[1] Men's swimsuits may maximally cover the area from the waist to the knee, and women's counterparts from the shoulder to the knee. They also ruled that the fabric used must be a "textile", that is, consisting natural or synthetic yarns woven together. With the exception of drawstrings on male jammers, suits must not have any fastening devices such as a zipper. The new regulations took effect on 1 January 2010.[2][3]
