[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former female swimmer here and now parent of a young swimmer. One thing I have noticed is that the teenage and college age girl swimmers are basically walking around with their butts hanging out of their suits. Like they have wedgies that they don't bother fixing. This was not a thing when I was a swimmer and I would have felt self conscious walking around like that. But these girls seems to have more self confidence than I do, or maybe it's just not something that anyone cares about anymore. They are more muscular than we were 20 years ago so maybe they're like hey it's just glute muscles. I think the popular training suits, like Jolyn, have less coverage in the back now too. If a mom posted some photos of their daughter's team on the pool deck all wearing their training suits (or just regular competition suits but not the leg suits), I can see how one might be a little taken aback. It raised some eyebrows among moms of tween boys on our summer team. But it's just how the girls are wearing their suits nowadays.[/quote]

I have 2 kids who swim, and I’ve definitely noticed this among the girls. I agree that it seems like it is coming more from a place of self confidence and not an effort to show off, because I have seen so many half wedgies - one side covered, one side not. I don’t think they are trying for that look. At first, I was a little taken aback, but now I’m used to it. I still notice, because I hate that wedgie feeling myself, but nobody seems to give them another glance. When you watch the Olympics, the swimmers have similar body types, but in age group swimming, it’s much more diverse. There are swimmers of all shapes and sizes, so it helps all the kids feel less self conscious.  [/quote]

My teenage daughter is a non-competitive swimmer and her swimsuit rides up. I hate it! [/quote]

PP again. If she were a boy and her speedo rode up, I would be just as mortified.[/quote]
