Yes, men can basically only wear a jammer or a speedo and women can wear a knee length suit. It was because of the insane number of world records that were set in the "tech suit" era. They also changed the rules on the fabric requirements because some of the suits were basically wetsuits.

Kinda stinks that it will be really hard to break any of those World Records...
