The recently issued revisions to Rule 3-3-2 regarding swimsuits which may be worn during NFHS competition are intended to provide fair and equitable competition. Although the new rule includes some requirements that are of a technical nature (i.e., textile material, permeability, buoyancy), the focus of the rule should be on the requirement that only one swimsuit be worn during competition and that the suit adhere to the style and shape indicated in the rule. Suits that appear to violate the technical requirements of the swimsuit should be noted and reported to the state association for further consideration. Officials should use reasonable and good judgment in application of the rule. It is not intended that the officials become suit inspectors nor should they be expected to verify the legality of each competitor’s swimsuit. The referee should ask each coach during the pre-meet conference to confirm that all their competitors will compete in legal swimsuits. During the warm-ups, the officials should also advise any competitors observed to be wearing an illegal swimsuit or multiple suits that the suit(s) shall not be permitted during competition. During each race, the officials should watch for competitors wearing more than one swimsuit or in a swimsuit of illegal style or shape. When observed during the competition, the appropriate penalty as defined in the rule should be applied.
