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:
Modesty most probably can be arranged at less than the $500 dollar price tag of high-tech LZR fabric.
The suits that the PE department issued while I was there were like a trunk (and could not have cost more than 5 dollars). The swimmers actually used them on occasion for drag suits.
I know I'm an unenlightened, knuckle-dragging, neanderthal (at least that was what I've been called on previous posts), but I'm not sure more modesty is such a bad thing. There are many girls on my daughter's swim team that dress more like they are trying to get a date than train.
As far a participants, there have got to be hundreds of swim camps in the country. As far as I know, BYU sells out consistently because the parents that pay for the camp are trying to provide an exposure beyond swimming that might make their children mature in other ways.
