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.
Try swimming with balls SO BIG... (pronounce in a Robert DeNiro accent)
Actually, that is another dream of mine.
Oh, well.
Point taken, Leslie.
Hydrodynamics question: Would the added lower body buoyancy of De Niro balls be enough to compensate for chafing and them getting in the way when flutter kicking?
And 2Fish, I'm a D so I feel your pain. That's why FINA's decision to ban zipper-back suits was especially disappointing. I needed help to "batten down the hatches." I know FINA didn't want to encourage slacking off on core conditioning, etc. But it's not my fault I have chest fruit! What am I supposed to do, go to a plastic surgeon and get 'em lopped off?

Get a couple bids first, and then I'll do it at half the cost of the cheapest one.
I save money, and pass the savings on to my patients, by carrying no medical malpractice insurance, no student loans from med school (I didn't go), no anesthetics (you will have to provide your own Everclear), and no fancy-schmancy scalpels, clamps, and other confusing gizmos that are so often prefixed by Nurse! suffixed by Stat!
When you have your surgery performed by Dr. Jim Thornton, M.D. (f), Your wallet, at least, will not suffer (TM)
Oh lawdy ya'll!!! Ya'll have made me laugh until I've cried. In fact, my husband just asked me what is, "so damned funny?!!"
Jim, your trademarked slogans are priceless!!!
That'snot funny.
Don't read then!
This is our locker room. We can discuss whatever gross things we fancy.
Go wear flip flops and surgical wear and ear plugs in the men's locker room, if you're too sensitive.
Me thinks to many of you have too much time on your hands.
Help me some one where do I find the button that stops me receiving posts on the Women's Locker Room. It is making me ill, I may need a doctor.
That'snot funny.
BTW Jim, do you have any medical gadgetry that prevents the unlady like sight of snot slinging while swimming?
Bring it!! I'm waiting!!
