Now This is Really Skimpy!!!

[California Dolphin]

This is one of the skimpiest suits I've ever seen on a general swimming discussion board!!! :D

CD

[shaulis]

I may be wrong but I've seen way skimpier suits on this discussion board.

[thongboy]

and so did I !

[Byron]

CD - is this tongue in cheek ? (can't believe you're serious)
Are we to look at the guy in black speedos doing breast stroke?

[thongboy]

this is what I'd call "really skimpy"

[shaulis]

That is a suit I would call skimpy.

[Byron]

So would I - and quite a selection on Mategear including nice little vid.

This looks uncomfortable. It's squeezing the two butts together haha

[Torchwatch]

Maybe we need to squeeze you into a swim thong and see how you react, skinnykid.

[Byron]

....an orange one perhaps?

[shaulis]

Swim thongs are not every ones suit of choice. If the person isn't comfortable wearing a thong no amount of cajoling will make the person comfortable only bitter and resentful nothing good will come of it.

[Torchwatch]

I would encourage and enable rather than cajole, hoping the experience would would be positive and repeated a 2nd and maybe 3rd time.
The school system always tried to force students into conforming and doing things they didn't want to, the effect was often to put people off sport, reading etc for life. Better to help people discover new experiences without prejudice or pain.

[Swimmboy]

California Dolphin implies he found the picture on a 'general swimming board', rather than a board such as this one devoted more to, as the banner on the upper left states, "guys in hot speedos". While we all know there are skimpy thongs and micro-suits available for purchase, you won't see such articles on boards devoted to 'general' swimming discussions - i.e., competitive racing, stroke techniques, etc. - the type of board where I think CD may have found his wonderful picture. The suit in CD's picture IS rather brief (and looks amazing on that athlete), although I don't think it is any briefer than what many competitive swimmers wore (and a few still wear) before the jammer/tech suit era. In the 90s, those 'paper suits' were so skimpy and revealing they made you gasp with delight....

[Byron]

Yes, that website is all about training and correct swim technique and is certainly not a speedo fantasy board.
The shot* from CD on breastroke mistakes is very good and is in fact repeated in the other direction - but it is a very complicated site with lots of video shots under "lessons". The girls are in these as well however and there are bodysuits being worn on occasions so it needs a lot of sorting to find any guys in speedos, let alone a nice brief racer which were a delight to see in competitions in what seems now to be the very distant past.

*all the speedos seem to be anonymous but that guy alone seems to be wearing an intriguing club suit with symbol and letters.

[Byron]

This Turbo guy seems to have just about made it but maybe he thinks the Trojans play water polo with a baseball bat ?

Having just spotted this it immediately reminded me of CD's post#1 (nice brief speedo again in a similar position).

[shaulis]

The swimsuit in Byrons photo appears to be a briefer cut than the swimsuit in CDs photo. The photos looks to be in the same position in the water.

[Byron]

I liked the second speedo as I did the first but haven't identified that pattern
(GoSwim cannot explain what may be a club logo on the one from CD)

[California Dolphin]

Here's another one:

The vid is only available for subscribers -which I believe is a Pay For View arrangement.

[shaulis]

I think the brief shown in CDs post #19 is the same as the brief in post #1.

[Byron]

...that's what I meant by other direction in post #14
(takes time to sort the wheat from the chaff on GoSwim)
Keep observing guys!

[Byron]

Something similar with kick action:

[Byron]

Pics like this seem to be of varying quality as a result of more photographers now sticking the camera into the pool on the end of a pole to capture the individual action of the swimmers.

:cool: OK, this thread says skimpy so here is a guy who seems to stand out well with a good fit amongst all the baggy boardies:

[shaulis]

Yes, that brief is very skimpy.

[SwimTeamSpeedo]

He certainly looks great wearing it, but it is very tiny.

[Byron]

Yes - caught my eye as a non-oriental physique and only he could wear that I guess (from a German blog I think)

I like this brief. Its not too skimpy and I like the color blue.

[Byron]

LOL - CD has started a thread which could go on forever as there are so many yummy degrees of skimpiness to find out there.
(and I have lost three AB guys at the moment which I must retrace )

[KungFuBodybuilder]

this is what I'd call "really skimpy"

http://mategear.com/product/mini-bikini-01-blue/#prettyPhoto


I really like Mategear.

[50 Free]

Nice one, Byron, #15 with the baseball bat. When I get like that we're only moments away from "total breakout."

[Byron]

NB: it throws up a 404 error on the page but don't be discouraged and just go to menu selection

I want! I definitely want one like that... I used to see speedo .75" side speedos online...

[Byron]

:) me too but I can't get an ID on it.
Btw was it not KungFu who said Muscleskins?
(there I think .0375" is available - not good
on my decimal conversions however so I will
say three eighths Imperial).

[Byron]

:eek: http://orf.at/static/images/site/news/20120730/flipflop_50_jahre_fuesse_body_thingthong_n.2162205 .jpg

LOL - hardly comfortable - advertised summer 2012 - did it ever take off?
(presumably a quick transfer from crotch to feet is performed when coming off the beach ?)

[afewgoodmen]

I bought a pair "semi-skimpy" swim briefs from Undergear.com. They are made by intymen. I love them!!!

The length of fabric on the hip is 1.5". I guess they measure the shortest part.

Check it out.

However, the don't work too well for swimming. Feels like they are always being left behind on my ankles! haha

Me too, years ago I bought a swimsuit from Undergear. It was BodyAlive bikini in turquoise. It too felt like "always being left behind on my ankles!" and the front portion actually flapped open under current.

[Byron]

Whatever it is this little low black suit seems ideal for this swimmer (and for spectators no doubt): http://promo.beachboyfriends.com/movie/112310/beachgal017/beachboyfriends_com_8.jpg
