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.
Muffin tops at the waistline are pretty much genetically predisposed. I know some very skinny teen-age girls who have them and have almost gone anorexic to get rid of them.
I'm sure there's a genetic factor, just like some men are prone to beer bellies, but I wonder if part of it is being "skinny fat." You know, they don't weight much, but still have a fair body fat pct. because they aren't fit. I don't see too many elite female runners (or swimmers) with muffin tops, after all!
