speedos with there cords
 

Hey does anyone have a trick to easely put cords back in a speedo one has mto really be patient.

waist cords
 

There's no really quick way but a safety pin makes things easier.
Make sure the round head is in front so that it passes through the waistband interior easily, and then there is much more to get hold of with finger and thumb than with an end tag alone in the feed-through process.

if your real one is that sz no wonder you buy 2 inch over size speedos lol. btw about cords im pushing one inside my Adidas suit and nearly finish but it was hard at both side seams because of the 3 while white stripes.

Lol
 

Have to agree .....Adidas stripes defeat my big one

just two stripes..

Since you mention it would you believe this is me after I successfully dealt with rethreading a too-short black waist cord ?

holy moses you sure changed since i saw you last in Montreal

It all depends on the hole you're trying to get it into. It can be hard if the hole is little and tight, you've got to really work it in... but be patient. Sometimes you have to pull it out and stick it back in, a couple of times even. Just work it slow, twist it back and forth maybe.
And it depends on the size of what you're using too. If it's too big, you'll never get it in no matter how hard you are... I mean, no matter how hard you try. Now, if it is long it is easier to guide it in. Just get it started and push, and you're in!

Yep thatsn exactly what I do , itts easyer with shoe laces with both plastic ends.

Naked Budd, you are SOOOO bad.....

That's not what MY man says. :D

The cord is the smaller problem here. A much bigger issue needs attention. Great picture.

Try a hair-clip instead.
 

The head of some safety pins is a bit big and the pins too wide to thread easily. I find it easier to use a hair-clip, but one where the ends are well rounded. The shaft that you are working with is longer but thinner, which is much more satisfactory. One does need to double the cord over carefully otherwise the end of the cord slips out.
Byron, the shaft you are working with looks like a good length to reach across the black stripes, you should have no problems. The whole idea of a safety pin though it that it has a protective head to guard the pointed end and keep it safe. It seems from the photo that you have removed your protection. Need to be careful it does not damage the cloth in that state.

I have a friend that has a long thin knitting needle (about 1/4 D) that he notched to hole the cord. He slides it through quite easily but hast to be sure he doesn't get it hung up along the way at seams or decorative additions.

Had the day off today so I went swimming.
I took 2 suits, a Diana navy blue suit and a black Speedo, decided to wear the Diana briefs but found the cord had pulled out of one end grrrrr.
Had to wear the black Speedos instead as no time to repair the Diana cord.
Repaired the Diana cord when I got home, will have to go swimming again soon in order to wear them.

When I came out of the pool a primary school group (under 11's) was waiting to use the pool. The boys were all wearing square cuts of assorted brands either in navy or black. They looked so much neater and smarter than if they were wearing baggy shorts. The whole group were chatting and laughing happily amongst themselves, showing no sign of embarrassment.

I would have thought at that age they shouldn't be, besides I would say they have been swimmers since the first day of school.

odd assumption....
 

If kids are at their first day of schooling (aged 5 years?) what are the percentages of those who arrive as already proficient swimmers?

I think you would be surprised at the percentage of kids proficient in swimming because so many people install home pools .

Some of the pools in this area have mother and baby sessions in the warmer shallow training pools.
Pampers makes special baby nappy speedos for the very young, but it is probably best not to get the water in your eyes or mouth after a mother and baby session.

We don't have a home pool, but my three kids began swim lessons at the Y when they were 5 or 6, and two of them became competitive swimmers.

When I lived in South Carolina I had a home pool. Its almost a prerequisite to have when someone buys or sells a home anymore in the southeast and southwest US.

shaulis - as you might imagine, it's pretty unusual to have a swimming pool in the northeast, especially in Maine.

land availability...
 

:rolleyes: I have to say a pretty rare luxury to find here also and those without a big estate but plenty of money may attempt to build a permanent one but often end up with all pool and no garden (backyard).
Then there are the filtration pumps and the chemicals to provide, and the expensive solar panels to install to produce some power for creating a bearable water temperature ..... then the roll-out cover to stop it freezing in winter and to collect the falling leaves of autumn.....then count the number of days per annum anyone actually swims in it ..........
I think I will just stay with the dreams of David Hockney and his Bigger Splash in CA (he's come home to Yorkshire by the way - quite a contrast)
