Swimsuit ban puts brakes on records

Please submit photographic proof. I would, but I don't want to run afoul of the Mann Act--transporting photographs of my moobs across state lines for prurient purposes.

I obviously don't have enough to do this morning. I did an analysis of masters world records broken in 2008 and 2009. They are as follows: 2008 Short Course Men 46 Women 51 Long Course Men 79 Women 70 2009 Short Course Men 56 Women 69 Long Course Men 80 Women 64 Now we just have to wait for FINA to post the 2010 records to possibly see the impact of suits and gender. I know there are some flaws to these statistics. E.g. the FINA year ends on 10/31 and I didn't bother to do the records by actual date set, but I figured it would even out over the course of three years and we'd have to wait till late 2011 to see the records set after Nov. 1 this year. I originally thought there would be more records set in 2008 because there was a LC world championships, but this didn't seem to be the case. Jim, you seem a bit bored these days. Perhaps you could massage these statistics to make them more accurate. Rich

Jim, you seem a bit bored these days. Perhaps you could massage these statistics to make them more accurate. Rich Rich, you are absolutely correct in your assessment of my boredom levels. However, your suggestion that "massaging these statistics" might help me with my boredom is, perhaps, dangerous counsel. Were I to do this, it is quite possible that I would become so bored my heart would stop. I shall leave this job, therefore, to the more mathematically inclined and search out alternative, and arguably more exciting, forms of massage for myself.

A scalywag response. If you can't support your claim, I think your moobs have a lack of support. Pasties would work. Okay. Point taken. Here is me putting Leslie's amble boobage to shame. forums.usms.org/picture.php

I think I can humbly say I fill out a bikini top more amply than some of the women. Please submit photographic proof.

the horror...this thread may lead to the re-emergence of the infamous large man in small speedo picture...or worse

ANYHOW - I will not miss the price tag of the not so long lasting suits !

no way, most coaches want their swimmers to swim as fast as they can every season Ande, Could the reason be that top swimmers are on a four year periodization? Do we need to wait untill OTs to really find out?

Sahib, may I ask for total enlightment? Carl Spackler told me that he had obtained it. I'd like to one-up that dang groundskeeper.
