Modesty or time
I think that it's a mixture of both, swimmboy. At the college level it is all about time advantage, which was why in my college days it was tiny briefs downsized. At the level I coach, I think modesty is a big factor. My swimmers are not at the level where they are slicing it that close. Thankfully, we seem to be moving to a less puritan state of mind if this year is any indication.
