Speedos back in college swimming

[clem]

I heard the paper suits, by modern standards, didn't help hydrodynamics much. Were these the suits that weren't permeable? I remember Janet Evans trying and rejecting them, saying, "You, like, carry 5lbs. of water with you."

They were very thin and didn't have much stretch. They were worn very tight. At least the pair I had didn't absorb any water to speak of.

If I could make the rules for swim competitions only skimpy briefs would be allowed at any level of competition. This would minimize any effect the suit would have on performance making it a competition of swimmers instead of a competition of swimsuit manufacturers.

If I made the rules all swimmers would wear very small and tight suits and for the finals wear nothing.

In the original Olympics the Greeks participated naked. I wouldn't mind seeing that again. It would definitely avoid any advantages offered by the swim suit materials and make it man vs man as opposed to man vs science and technology.

If mens leap frogging was an Olympic event back in Greece, Jace and Scott would have been disqualified for not jumping high enough. Lol.

I couldn't find a picture of leap frog with naked people. Lol.

Naked leapfrog sounds good Scott.Remember I have low hangers.

It seems like that would be more of a risk for you, and that being the case, NEVER play naked leapfrog with a unicorn..

[scott1636]

So now you are a unicorn?

Actually while looking for naked leapfrog pictures, I saw that warning posted and thought it was wise advice worth passing on to you.

Remember I have low hangers.

Mmmm. The thought of you dragging your low hangers across my back. Mmmm.
