Indicators of a frequent swimmer

I wasn't aware flip turns put a lot of tension on the backside of my suits.

I haven't reached the point in my development as a serious swimmer to do flip turns. I know how to do them theoretically but have never tried to do one and won't for a long while. I guess I don't have to worry about my suits wearing out.

I recall seeing that particular photo Byron. Those Speedo skinsuits were a failure for the company and brought us jammers being worn in competitive swimming instead of briefs.

Yep, sadly so - but to be precise there I think it was a zip- rather than fabric- failure. LOL - nevertheless well illustrates the phrase 'stretched to breaking point'
