I've been giggling about this all morning! Many of the young swimmers from my pool are attending the BYU swim camps starting this week. One of the young guys who always wears brief (racer) style swim suits told me that he isn't allowed to where them at the camp. I pulled up the info on the camp and the info packet does say "no Speedos or bikini briefs are allowed for male participants". I'm sorry, but jammers are no less revealing than briefs! If anything they are more so - in my opinion. I can understand a modest dress code at BYU, but swimmers are so use to seeing each other in these types of suits. I would love to know the thinking behind this dress code? :lmao:

It's a dress code thing for everyone. Up until this last year, I think they made everyone wear BYU issue swim-trunks, and wouldn't even allow people with board shorts until the last five years.
Evidently the 2" of fabric somehow spells the difference between moral depravity and modesty.
I don't get it. The BYU swim team still wears briefs (saw them this morning with them on). More of BYU's "theocratic" red-tape, I guess. It's okay for the swim team, but the rest of the world just can't be trusted to wear them.
Hey BYU -Amateur
It's really good news to hear that the swim team still wears those good ole briefs!!!
As the old saying goes: "Great minds think alike" and it looks like the BYU Swimming Dept. and I may have something in common afterall!!! :groovy:
I hope they change the rules to allow outsiders to wear 'em also.
