Scott, I appreciated your comments on your swim team trying out new competition swimsuits and how you handled the situation. Is the test still going on?

Speedo just announced new full body swimsuits for the Olympics. An article with a picture is at

I was wondering if these are similiar to the ones you are testing. Do any of your teammates think they lowered their times? I personally don't like the idea that a swimsuit that decreases times should be allowed; but that's just my opinion. I'm out of touch with high school--has swimming competition started...or finished?

Thanks,
Tom

Mr. Tom, I check this site a couple of times each week and just saw your posting at the top. I clicked on the link and "WOW!" - -- not too far from the form fitting almost thongs (only these cover the whole body)that we use for practice suits and which are now optional but all of the guys and some of the girls still wear them. I actually like the suit when its just guys, although I prefer my God given suit the best! Our team including me have been having a great season, it will be over in a few weeks. By the way don't know if I ever wrote this but some of the guys like practicing nude when we can which is not too often and some of the guys will be coming over some Saturday when my dad is home and my mom and Shelly are out for some nude swimming, etc. Thanks again for remembering me - you made my day! Scott

Scott, I'm glad you're having such a good season—both your team and you personally. Congratulations.

Enjoy your pool time with your guy friends when they come over to your house. That'll be fun.
