Went to the Missouri Grand Prix, w my wife and girls, age 12 and 8, to watch some great swimming this past weekend and it was great!
Also recently paid to have a criminal background check as I am an official for USA swimming, so they can make sure I'm not a perv...(I passed...)
I will say this, and I'm really not a prude, but in light of spending 55-60 bucks for the background check, perhaps USA swimming should look at enforcing some simple modesty in the swimmers.
I've never seen so many butt-cracks on the men and butt cheeks on the women in my entire lifelong swimming experience!!!! The fronts of guys suits literally an inch from their "junk" and their butt crack hanging out. Girls with their full butt cheek exposed as their warmup suits were 5 sizes too small and tucked in like a thong.
My 8 yr old daughter and my wife had a 20 something young man wrap his towel around himself, pull off his suit, pull on his underwear, about 5 ft in front of them (and his butt was fully exposed for a brief moment)...
I personally dont care, it bothers me not in the least, but what does bother me is USA is trying to crack down on the pervs, but then allows this...
Just my 2 cents...
Young people changing on deck is one thing. I saw someone at ynats in 2008, deck change- a woman. anywho nothing bothers me after sharing a communal locker room at 2000 worlds in munich. There were a bunch of stalls such as bathroom ones that came up about 5 ft. so if you were taller or somebody passed by, they got a look.
I used to wear paper suits. man they hurt to get off. still have an old 24. yeah like I could wear it on my head these days. As an IMer I have always preferred tanks, had to get used to kneeskins and never did like full suits. I think it is the breasstroke kick, cause a kneeskin doesnt' bother me in fly.
Now days the problem with tanks and banana hammocks is like what is the deal either get a brazilian or shave people
