International Swimming Federation or FINA has reportedly rejected about ten advanced men’s swimwear proposed for use in upcoming swimming competitions. Australian coach Alan Thompson said on Wednesday that this development would mean difficulty in upholding the new world records set by two swimmers from France.

The ruling body made the decision to reject the men’s swimwear on Tuesday. Included in the ban are swimwear made from polyurethane, the same material worn by French swimmers Alain Bernard and Fred Bousquet. The two swimmers set world records during a competition in Montpellier in France last month.

Bousquet and Bernard used an Arena “X-Glide” swimwear that propelled them to set 50 meters and 100 meters world records respectively. The previous record holder was Eamon Sullivan of Australia.

However, with the decision at hand, it’s highly possible that the new records will be voided as FINA recognized that the swimwear technology aided the players’ wins and not solely by athlete’s achievement.

The men’s swimwear can still be approved if necessary alterations will be made subject to the approval by FINA. In July, the Rome World Championships will take place and the swimsuits can be used if the stamp of approval has been made.

Due to the credit crunch consumers are spending less. We can already see the impact on the high street shops. But what is the impact on sales of products like swimwear? A report is published about the swimwear market in 2014. The report looks at technology, style and shapes, brands and labels.

The clothing industry is suffering from the effects of the credit crunch for a while now. This also means that the swimwear growth will decrease from 5.32% to 1.69% between 2008 and 2014. And if the situation gets that bad, it will affect the huge amount of present brands.

Brands dominate 60 to 70 percent of the value in western country markets. That equals between 38 to 43 percent of the units. The sales is dominated by a few specialist businesses, like Victoria’s Secret in America and Marks and Spencer in Great Britain.

Some other conclusions:

• Due to the aging population in the western countries, the style of swimwear will be influenced as swimming is slowly being accepted as a relaxing leisure time
• The older woman will cause the popularity of figure supporting swimwear
• Younger people will start wearing swimwear outside the pool and beach
• Retail sales in traditional shop will be surpassed by Internet swimwear  sales
