Women's Locker Room

Here's a thread for the ladies to discuss anything that relates to women and swimming. For example, feel free to discuss how disgustingly ugly fastskins are, how the "curse" can kill a meet, how suits don't fit, how swimming wrecks your hair, how hormones unhinge you, etc.

  • Got one for my birthday. Fits great, love it. As if the Dara thread weren't enough ... Heard some interesting gossip at an age group meet about an extremely fast 12 year old. Seems that Mom and coach are considering putting her on birth control pills to prevent the appearance of AF, so she can keep going great guns and not have any plateaus. What next?! Now that's bizarre and something you'd expect to hear at the gymnastics center. That's a crazy soccer mom right there, crazy crazy crazy, loco mcstupid. Without being too graphic, what are the adverse affects of AF on teen swimming. Is it more of a desire to regulate and limit time away from the pool? Is starting an otherwise healthy 12 year old girl on the pill even a good idea? I hate to hear stories like this.
