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.
Some questions for the ladies:
1. Is everyone wearing their wedding/engagement ring(s) during practice or meets?
2. Anyone tried oil of oregano for congestion? A friend recommended this to me recently.
3. Anyone had a nagging hip injury? Dr. Jimby says these can take awhile to fix. Mine's been dragging on for almost 4 weeks now. I think I hurt it with over stretching and hard kicking, but I'm not sure.
4. Anyone tried any of the new speed suits: Xterra or Renegade by AquaZone? I was wondering if they fit better than the B70. There seems to be a lot of women who have trouble getting the B70 up high enough in the crotch. Maybe the thigh area is too small?
5. For chicks that are lifting, if you take time off from weights, does it take awhile to get back to your previous level? I have this notion that it takes women longer to build muscle and that we can lose it more easily ... but this could be false.
Hey Fort!
1. I don't even bring mine to the pool... they come off before I leave the house
2. Yes, you can get it at Whole Foods... I put a little on a hanky and hold it close to your nose... works wonders.
3. nope
4. all I have is my speedo
5. i don't lift, so I can't say
