Swim Team Equipment - Swim Briefs Recommended/Required

[crimsonspeedo]

I have three younger brothers. I'm nineteen (just barely), the twins are seventeen, and our the youngest is just fifteen. We all grew up swimming in the country club/swim club teams from the Guppy Team age. Speedos were the norm, and we thought nothing about it. I know I loved wearing tight swimsuits, even though I only sported a peanut and two little marbles inside. We shared all the locker and shower spaces with all the older boys, and I knew from looking at them, and from looking at my dad, grandfathers, older cousins, and all the other older males that "my time would come!" Eventually I'd have pubic hair, larger hydraulic equipment, and bigger muscles.

Boys do go through a period of being self-conscious at the onset of puberty, but when a guy is surrounded by other boys in the same condition, and older boys and men as examples of where puberty is leading, it really isn't a big deal. Erections in swimsuits aren't "dirty" or "abnormal." They just happen. Big deal.

Now, if a boy goes into swimming at puberty, then I can understand some trepidation at wearing Speedos! It's much easier to "grow into them" starting as a little boy.

I was shaved once, and then refused to ever shave again. Sometimes that was way more an issue than wearing the swimsuits.

Good attitude, well expressed.

I had a similar experience growing up. My gym has a policy that you have to be at least 10 to use the regular locker rooms. Anyone younger has to use the family locker room with a parent. When I turned 10, I started going to the regular locker room with my dad. I remember walking in for the first time. It seemed like everyone was naked. Penises of every shape and size wherever I looked. Definately more educational than those drawings in the sex ed books.

What gear does my child need?
Boys and girls will need to wear goggles and fins for practice. The fins we will be using this
year are TYR, Speedo, or Watergear brands. Fins should not be cut. The team suits this year
will be a solid navy TYR for the ladies and solid navy TYR briefs for the guys. Female
swimmers also need a Del Amigo swim cap. The suits and caps need to be ordered through
Ana Platt (anaplatt@comcast.net). Team suits and caps are to be worn for all swim meets.

Suits - Each swimmer is responsible for buying their own black competitive suit (boys should purchase briefs).
