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:

FYI - My swimmers returned from the camp last week and the rule regarding briefs wasn't followed. The coaches told my swimmers that they could where briefs!!! I'm guessing that what the school prints as rules and what really goes on are two different things.
Glad to hear that they didn't actually enforce the ban and briefs were still allowed afterall!!!
I suspect that in the past, someone may have tried to wear a “thong” style suit or cut the lining out of a regular brief to make it almost transparent. The fact is that any suit (brief, jammer, or technical) can be “modified” to the point of being obnoxious. :sad:
My advice to students is don’t “push the envelope” by doing something totally bizarre that might cause the administrators to clamp down and impose an across the board ban any suit they think is not modest. Remember- the poor judgment of a few students could have the effect of ruining the experience for everyone else on the team! :cry:
As they say in France (and elsewhere) “Viva a la Speedo”! :groovy:
Happy swimming ;)
