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.
My other shocking rumor/gossip was an 11-12 year old (now 13) who was a bit small and her parents (doctor/lawyer) put her on HGH so she would be taller etc. for sports.
We hosted an Italian foreign exchange student several years ago whose parents sent his HGH over from Italy. He wasn't really small, maybe 35th-45th percentile. At the time he was 17 or 18 so they were probably just wasting their money. His epiphyseal plates had probably already fused.
