    International Life Saving is recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Organisation (IRC) and the World Health
    Organisation of the United Nations (WHO).

    The material and construction used in swimwear to be worn in all ILS pool rescue events and
    ocean competition event swim legs shall be:

    Only textile woven fabric(s) shall be permitted.


    Non-woven and/or non-permeable (e.g. wetsuit type) materials shall not be permitted.
    The material used shall have a maximum thickness of 0.8mm.
    Other than string ties for the tops of mens swimwear or the bottom of female two piece
    swimwear no zippers or other fastening systems shall be permitted.
    Swimwear that provides flotation, pain reduction, chemical/medical stimulation or other
    external stimulation or influence of any type shall be prohibited.
    No outside application on the material shall be permitted. (Note: manufacturer
    brandings, club names or similar are permitted).

    ILS will allow both male and female competitors to wear "modesty" swimwear made of a
    textile woven fabric under their swimsuit, provided that no competitive advantage is gained.
    Further, any modesty swimwear shall be restricted to the short style for men and the two
    piece style top and/or bottom for women.
    Upon application for religious and/or cultural diversity reasons, ILS will consider the wearing
    of (non-body shaping) textile swimwear that covers a greater part of the body provided that
    such swimwear does not provide a competitive advantage.
    The Referee may authorise the wearing of wetsuits or "marine stinger suits" dependent upon
    weather, water or other marine conditions.
    Wetsuits shall be permitted in events when the water temperature is 16 degrees Celsius or
    less, or when the Referee determines wind chill is a factor. Water temperature
    measurements should be taken approximately 30 cm below the surface.
    The only wetsuits approved for use in events involving swimming shall have a maximum
    thickness of 3 mm at any location on the wetsuit with a tolerance of 0.3 mm. Wetsuits cannot
    contain additional material to provide the wearer with flotation or buoyancy assistance. It is
    not permitted to wear more than one wetsuit (i.e. one upon the other) but one modesty textile
    swimsuit is permitted.
    Except for swimmers in events the wearing or other protective clothing (e.g. shorts, Lycra
    tops, t-shirts, etc.) may be worn by individual competitors in both individual and team events
    unless otherwise prescribed by these rules or the event organizing authority.
    In addition, the following also applies to particular events:

    In Surf Boat events the Sweep Oarsman may wear apparel (including wetsuits and
    booties) as the conditions warrant. The specifications for wetsuits shall not apply.
    In IRB events competitors may wear apparel (including wetsuits, booties, gloves and
    hoods) in all events. The specifications for wetsuits shall not apply.
    Competitors may also be required to wear distinctive coloured vests to assist with
    judging of finishes. Such vests will be supplied by ILS.

    Sunglasses or optical glasses may be worn in all events provided that any eye protection or
    optical glasses worn must be suitably designed for that event.
