I think that there is a problem for male swimmers at the moment. If they turn up at the pool in board shorts they create so much drag that older and weaker looking swimmers will glide past in swim briefs square cuts and jammers. They realise that to swim faster means showing more skin and/or wearing skin tight fabrics and they have been conditioned to think that wearing short shorts or speedos is gay, so to be a better swimmer they'd have to look gay.
Women on the other hand can wear a one piece Lycra swim suit whatever their shape or age and no one will comment. so as the men and boys drop out the women are taking over.
