From the comments, many want to see the old Speedos make a come back!!!

Happy nudity (about 95%) :D

I could buy groceries for three months with my Social Security check, or buy a Speedo good for five races!

I saw on TV where TYR is suing Speedo over their new tech suit line. They say it gives an unfair advantage. I think they should ban all tech suits. You might as well allow flippers.

Well put, Justin ... I think in order to make sure that no swimmer has an "equipment" advantage, maybe they should all swim nude ... :)
