Older college swim team photos

[sebbie]

This one is a college swim team from 1977-78 All in briefs but widely varying shapes, sizes and colors, and widely varying body builds as well

What I find so fascinating about these photos is that every guy is going his own way in terms of swimwear choice (from brief to not so brief), hair, and body type. No tatoos though. like this

The other issue is how competitive collegiate swimming has changed in terms of prep. Nowadays, competitive swimmers spend maybe as much time in the weight room as in the pool and the best swimmers have big broad chests and shoulders, and seem to all conform to a body type that looks largely the same. In terms of basic physique, these guys are all over the place. But swimming once was a sport that was suited to guys who were not that big and physically strong just as basketball supported fast guards that were only 5' 8 inches. But nowadays basketball players are all 6'4 or more with big broad shoulders and the sport has become much more of a sheer physical and physique game. So true for swimming. For these guys, not only are the suits all different but the packages are as well. Its all over the place!
