During a routine request for compliance of various models of ARENA swimwear, ARENA became aware of a compliance issue on a sampling, but not all, of specific models. In order to eliminate potential problems, ARENA has taken action to replace suits of the models involved, even though only a portion of the products are impacted.

Suits to withdraw FINA Approval Code

POWERSKIN Carbon-Pro models:

AR220993 – woman full body open back

AR220994 – woman full body closed back

AR141364 – man jammer

The identified construction problem does not impact safety or the overall performance of the athlete to create a competitive advantage. Therefore, the NFHS has taken the position, due to the nature of the defect and not all suits being non-compliant, to allow the models listed above to be used in high school competition.

For informational purposes, the ARENA press release on this matter is attached. 

Thank you for your attention and consideration.
