That’s the ticket.
I do not like football and tell hubby all the time, if they played naked I would watch. lol

[LiberConservative]

That's not titillating enough. I want to see the Speedo Burka for the Muslim swimmers. Grrrrr!!!

[Slump Tester]

Cool, but do they make it in a 7XL?

Eliminate the issue. Make ‘em all swim naked.

That'll bring up the ratings.

That could prove to be a disadvantage to some, shall we say, otherwise advantaged young women. Could prove to be a drag, as it were. ;-)

I prefer the 'old fashioned' kind  :-)

At the top levels of competition the suit should be available to everyone, so what’s the problem?

My daughter is a Division I college swimmer. This entire adventure has been costly. However, it paid off in the end for us.

I expect her school will soon be suiting up the girls with this new device.

[LiberConservative]

YES!!!!! I can’t STAND IT!!! I’m getting so HOT! Cold shower time!!!

[Stoat]

I can see her wrists and feet! The harlot!

works like an old-fashioned corset, squeezing a swimer's body into the sleekest shape possible.

I like this! I want one; but I wonder what will happen to all of the excess, un-sleek leftovers...

My daughter was an elite swimmer through high school. I was bothered not by the expense of getting to races (hotels, flights...) but that kids just had to have the latest suit and could barely swim a decent freestyle.

Make the suit available to all or go to match races where all teams use the same equipment.

As I used to advise my daughter against trash talking, let your swimmin' do the talking.

It's unfair to previous record holders, especially for records set some time ago.

[purpleraine]

a lot of things are unfair to previous record holders. That’s how records get broken. Training, diet, suits, body waxings, indoor and outdoor pools, .....................

I have said the same thing many times. That is the best advise ever. When they learn that, they are set.
