![]() "With whom" would be the bloggers responding to an article I read about the kid who wrote to Taco Bell with his request. They were pretty hung up about how people would wear such a thing and how the kid's parents would allow it. Much less what kind of parent would allow "perverts" to give their son "intimate apparel". Hilariously ignorant, no?
Other than that, we in the biz have to be careful about using the term "Diving" because it refers to an activity that is becoming outlawed in many pools. "Racing starts" are an important part of competition, we don't need the terms mixed up and used incorrectly or misunderstandings happen. It is a bone of contention at our own pool lately. Big problem. From a safety standpoint, of course, so kids retaliate by doing a flip from the side of the pool. It was a feet first entry, wasn't it? |

![]() Yes, stunning photo - and am still disappointed that I cannot get an aerial shot to also read the lettering on the bum (maybe a club suit but not conclusive and he was obviously wearing something a little bit larger when tanning - just to add to this tantalising enigma).
Thanks for interesting background info. on the sport's administration - and hilariously ignorant certainly seems appropriate for the bloggers you describe. My own confession now - glutes are not Glutaneous but Gluteus muscles - so I must do revision on my encyclopaedia of human anatomy. Before I do I will say Quadriceps for quads however - in case that helps NJH PS: "diver" now being a terminological problem surprised me (however, my little obsession remains against journalists who want to write bikini for anything less than shorts). It might also be a bit of a headache for Google as the word covers the sport (the scoring of the perfect entry into the pool) - the cliff (the daring Red Bull exhibitions) - the sub aqua (the use of SCUBA in the depths) - and the commercial (repairing the legs of the maritime oil rigs, etc. - not forgetting the hold-your-breath guys going to the seabed in the Indian Ocean. |

This pic is annotated "BU crack" but I am not sure whether the guys are from the Bulgarian Swim Team or B.........University. |

![]() Probably, he's wearing the team cap but in practice swims any suit is okay, the previous picture was at a meet where uniform is required. BU has a really good team, extreme talent there.

![]() Have to agree what this poster from another forum says about the Aqux here:

As a PS to post#45 we clearly have a diver here but is the camera playing tricks with us on arm and feet? |

It might be only Louis who can explain the rear - in which case what is likely to be on the front? (clue is feuille) |
