I'm unclear on a few points concerning new wetsuit rules.  The main question that I have is:  Is this new rule and Ironman rule?  A WTC rule?  A USAT rule? 

The new water temperature for cutoff is 76 degrees?

The new rule goes into effect September 1 of this year?

So this is down from 78? I did a 1/2 in 76 cause I didn't own a wetsuit and I think that is a little cold for a long swim. I was getting cold near the end and don't think I could have done another half. I think I would wear one at that temp as I am a mop. John.

What does it mean that they can't extend past the shoulders or knees?

That part refers to non-wetsuit events and is talking about actual swimsuits.
