Question swim attire

Yes - I think I need to review my own post here - a correction to begin with as I should have said first paragraph and not second when quoting the time
of twenty minutes.
My first thought was that time must be about wearing the full body suit as the remark could not possibly apply to simple jammers. That brings me to the problem of a date for this blog - nowhere can I find it except there are comments from February and April 2012 as a clue.
I now wonder also whether I should have said she and not he for the author. In rereading "bathing suits" and "most unflattering bathing suit in the world"
(when emerging wet) I get the feeling that these are not words likely to have been written by a male swimmer.
There are extensive responses to assert the endurance required for intensive swim training and, although seeming to be mostly gender-neutral, one does specifically refer to talking to "the other girls".
