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:
Hey, at least Mormons don't need to wear their special underwear while swimming.
It's funny cause my first thought is that the jammer does closely resemble the temple undergarment.
Right, I thought it went up over the chest, too, though I'm no expert.
Anyway, that is a pretty goofy rule since, as Dennis pointed out, I'm sure briefs were perfectly acceptable in years past.

I was on the track team at BYU in the early 70's. I can still remember those ridiculous PE uniforms the women had to wear.

Another thought accured to me about this brief thing at BYU. How is it that before jammers where invented did BYU have any boy swimmers at their camps. Did they have to wear the big board shorts? No - they allowed briefs in years past, but some how they have become dress code breakers.....
The issue of modesty just doesn't cut it and I'm kinda wondering if the suit makers are actually "coaching" the administrators behind the scene to make swimmers use the more expensive suits in lieu of briefs.
It's to the obvious advantage of the suit makers to have schools drop the $15 to $20 briefs in place of the more expensive models.
As with FINA, I know that the superintendents of some of the school districts In California are in fact being approached by suit makers to use their brand at every campus pool in lieu of the makers giving them campaign "contributions".
There are a lot of "Rats hiding in the wood pile" here.

With you lurking about I'd say it was more of a preventative measure versus a uniform...:rofl:
