Press release: FINA meets with suit manufacturers

23rd April 2009: blueseventy was one of several swimsuit manufacturers to meet with FINA today to witness and discuss the testing procedures and regulations outlined at the Dubai charter in February.

FINA legality of our suits

blueseventy’s CEO Steve Nicholls is confident that blueseventy will be able to adapt to any rulings that have come from the FINA Dubai charter.

“We’ve been involved, along with FINA and the other major manufacturers for the last few months in making sure that our products are meeting any restrictions, both in the immediate and long term future” said Nicholls.

Fina’s rules, issued in a two-stage process, will limit suits on thickness, buoyancy and other areas as of March 31st this year.  This will be the standard until Jan 1st 2010, when the restrictions of phase two will come into effect.

“Phase one should not affect the legality of our current suits at all.  All our in-house testing has shown that our current suits meet all of the phase one restrictions, including those relating to buoyancy.  There has been a lot of incorrect information, and personal viewpoints ushered into the public arena, and we feel that some of these tests will help reduce the confusion that seems to be out there.”

Water temperature and locations may have differed this weekend, but the performance advantage was the same as the North American triathlon season began this past weekend.  Two flagship events on the calendar kicked off in similar style, with blueseventy suits leading the fields out of the water in both men’s and women’s fields of the St Croix 70.3 race, and the Wildflower Triathlon.
