At first I didn't get it...and then I scrolled down.

Good thing it's just a thumbnail or else I would have really been in trouble!

I looked at page 2 and couldn't find anything strange. I kept looking and I think what you are referring to is now on page 5. Gross.

Thanks.
we need to have an inter-sport draft. while it wouldnt be practical to have a dude with a Shaq-type body to swim the 200M freestyle, it sure as hell would be funny.

and Michael Phelps may or may not hold his own on the court. it would make interesting reality TV im sure. Who needs gold medals when you have ratings and pending endorsement deals?

I think we had double-gym at my school - it was every other day for two periods or something like that.

They are actually faster than a Speedo - and they've been around a really long time. When I was back in high school I dated a swimmer and he had one of the Spandex pants looking suits. I forget the appropriate name but I'm guessing someone else on the thread will know it.

They don't really have a name, per se - I've always called them bodyskins. They're just for competition and are much faster than traditional suits. For practice a lot of swimmers wear a regular suit and a drag suit (an old stretched out suit) and occasionally pantyhose with the feet cut off and drag shorts (looser fitting short shorts). For less-important meets I had a fast suit that looked like a regular suit, and I wore the full-length suit for major competitions. My competition suit was similar to this:
