<p>The 14-times Olympic champion said a single type of suit would bring the sport back to basics and remove the upheaval new bodysuits using polyurethane have brought to swimming. <br /><br />"Swimming will actually become swimming again. We're all going to have the same exact suit. It's not going be an issue," Phelps said.<br /><br />In a rarity for a night when world records were the norm, the US team set only a meet record of three minutes, 09.21 seconds. <br /><br />"It's not going to be a question of what suit we're wearing, who's wearing what," Phelps said. <br /><br />"We'll see what happens over the next few months. I'm excited to see what's going to happen for the future of the sport." <br /><br />Relay team mate Ryan Lochte added: "I wish it went back to the old school, like banana hammocks. Jammers, I mean, I'm cool with that." <br /><br />Six world records were set on the first day of the championships, causing eye-rolling from swimmers and spectators alike.<br /><br /> FINA officials said on Friday they were ready to move back to all-textile suits and traditional briefs for men. <br /><br />Critics say all-polyurethane suits trap air, aiding buoyancy. FINA officials are scheduled to meet on Tuesday to thrash out details.</p>
