Speedo LZR using banned materials and methods?

I would like a brief history of the swimming briefs. I remember a few guys wearing body suits when I was a kid just after the war 1945. Our senior relay was made up of the guys who were in the armed services. They still wore the swim suits they had worn before the war. I am going to search for their picture. Hey Geochuck I recall briefs were quite the norm for way back in the 60’s when I took up swimming as a kid and also when I was on my high school team in the late 60’s and everyone loved them. This is quite logical as briefs are the simply the most comfortable thing to wear in the water (except for your birthday suit) and there’s something about the water/skin contact that ”recharges your batteries” both physically and emotionally. However right now, the problem is that the hyper-competitive atmosphere has completely overwhelmed the idea of swimming as being a sensually enjoying and truly athletic art and the “Win by any means possible” approach has just ruined the sport. Being an “Aquaphile” I have devoted a lot of time to the study (and also the promotion) of water-related activities such as swimming, w-polo, hot tubbing, and even ordinary bathing/showering techniques and considering the horrid feel of wearing those “technologically advanced” suits, I am quite optimistic that briefs will definitely return as the suit of preference. :banana: Happy swimming Dolphin 2 :D
