Do you remember what color suit the guy in the poster was wearing? I've looked through a bunch of 1996 Swimming World magazines I own but did not see any Speedo ads such as the poster you describe. They did have a nice shot of Gary Hall Jr. in a royal blue brief racing suit taken during the Olympics, but I don't think it was used in an advertising poster.

Default Changes in Swimming Physique, 1996-2012

Here is the signed officiel Speedo photo of Gary Hall taken in 1996.

If his physique is typical of an Atlanta Olympics swimmer. Much less upper body development, much slimmer physique, finer overall build with smaller pecs and shoulder muscles.

The current group of swimmers appear to have spent more time in the weight room than in the pool, and they probably have, with massive pects and shoulders, like weightlifters, and genetically larger-framed guys.
