SNC Swimwear Rules
ALL swimmers participating in a SNC designated meet or provincially sanctioned meets
shall be required to comply with swimwear rule GR 5 as follows:
GR 5 – Swimwear
GR 5.1 The swimwear (swimsuit, cap and goggles) of all competitors shall be in good moral
taste and suitable for the individual sports disciplines and not to carry any symbol which may
be considered offensive.
GR 5.2 All swimsuits shall be non transparent.
CGR 5.2.1.1 A swimmer may wear only one swimsuit in competition, and shall observe all
FINA
regulations related to swimwear as stated in the FINA Bylaws and Rules
GR 5.3 The referee of a competition has the authority to exclude any competitor whose
swimsuit or body symbols do not comply with this Rule.
GR 5.4 Before any swimwear of new design, construction or material is used in competition, the
manufacturer of such swimwear must submit the swimwear to FINA and obtain approval of
FINA.
FINA BL 8.3 From January 1, 2010 swimwear for men shall not exceed above the navel nor
below the knee, and for women, shall not cover the neck, extend past the shoulder, nor shall
extend below knee. All swimsuits shall be made from textile materials.
SNC has made the following interpretations for GR 5:
All swimwear used in competition in Canada must appear on the FINA approved list with the
following exceptions:
 Where a swimwear manufacturer has not submitted swimwear to FINA for approval
due to the swimwear no longer being in production, SNC reserves the right to allow
such swimwear where it can be confirmed that the swimwear conforms to the
shape, design and material conditions outline in FINA BL 8.3 (above).
 Under GR 5.3 wherein it is stated “the competitor must wear a swimsuit in one or two
pieces…” SNC interprets this to mean a swimmer is limited to wearing a single suit
only and where the suit is “two pieces” that the pieces do not overlap each other
and are distinct units (i.e. bikini style).
 All Canadian Record applications will be reviewed to ensure compliance with GR 5.
A Declaration of Swimwear must be submitted with the application to ensure
compliance.
 All foreign swimmers competing in Canada will be required to comply with GR 5
 Any swimmer not complying with GR 5 shall be disqualified
