the elastic around the edges gives everyone bulges! don't worry too much about it, but if it is an issue, take a second suit (about 2 or 3 sizes bigger) and wear it over your regular suit.  not only will this hide some bulges, but will add extra drag and make your workouts that much more intense! you will also see the results of swimming with 2 suits at your next meet!

If you like wearing them .. go for it.. If you like them so much I would suggest that you learn how to swim, so you are not pretending anymore\n\nIn my opinion girls look really good when they wear their racing suits.. specially fast skins

If you are talking about regular speedo's.. the idea is that if you dont have fabric hanging out, you'll reduce your drag.. counter example.. a drag suit.. loose suit, more drag\n\nIf you are talkin about a Fast skin ( the tights, or full body ) they are designed to compress your muscles to optimize their performance.. dont ask me why it works.. but I know that when your muscles are compressed they lose less energy to vibration and last longer. but still they also make them tight so youre not dragging fabric around

alot fo girls on my tennis team wear spandex under thier skirts, you know to hold the balls in place when your serving and then you dont have to worry and you could get a skirt with an elastic band so it fits and you dont have to keep checking to see if its okay but keep in mind that once you get new clothes your going to have a habit f checking to see if your skirts okay that your gunna have to kick!

Good job on the additional comment you made - getting out of your comfort zone. I absolutely encourage you to continue that. However, a water park really requires something that you will be comfortable in, and certain that you won't lose it. If it's a two piece that's pretty sturdy, then go for it. If it ties or is even the slightest bit loose, top or bottom, go shopping for another suit. Why spend the day worrying about your clothes, when you're supposed to be having fun? Either way, take something to cover up with. And wear sunscreen. Lots and lots of sunscreen. (I just got fried on my vacation, so it's really fresh in my mind.)

Go to your nearest swimming friend and ask her for a fast skin, goggles and a cap.. if this is for a costume party you'll look great if its a little cold the Parka would add a nice touch\n\nif you dont know what a fast skin is.. your swimmer friend will, and plus girls look really hot in fast skins..

Dudes at school make it a big deal because it is weird.  But if you're cool with it who cares?  I wouldn't expect any compliments in the locker room though.  And if you do get one... watch out.

When in water, I don't wear anything under because then it just gets soaked and really heavy..\n\nBut when hanging around, I wear boxers because if it rides down, I wouldn't want anyone to see anything they wouldn't like.

It's a body, it's natural. Young girls are just not use to it but it's not big deal. Why take off your gym clothes to put on a swinsuit to take of a swimsuit that is now dirty to put on clean clothes.\n\ni would just be proud of your confidence.

If you do not stretch, then you could get seriously injured, as for your coach, try asking for some stretch time.GOOD LUCK!!!

well hopefully the water is warm... so just keep swimming\n\noutside of the pool get yoursefl a parka, and some of those Ogs.. very popular amongst girls college swimmers these years\n\nI swam for 3 years outside and had morning workout at 5:30, sometimes it would get to be 32 outside and we would still swim.. the trick was running out of the locker as fast as you could took your parka off and jumped in

well if your comfortable with it then why ask others? \n\nbut just to let you know...if you are swimming for leisure then it doesn't really matter. if you swim athletically then it makes a big difference. being in water, t-shirts and shorts can create a lot of drag so it makes it more difficult to swim. this is a great way to exercise muscles becase it takes more work to swim with all that on. this is why most pro swimmers tend to wear speedos in competition. the idea is the less you wear and the tigher it is the less drag you have which means you can swim faster.

The thing about UnderArmour is it is very slippery when you cradle the ball. I wear small and it fits really snugly, and im daaaaamn skinnny, about 130 lbs. So you probably should look at a med. Or go to a local sports shop and try some on.

Swimming Laps! It works your whole body...when I was on the swim team I was rock hard all over, but not in a bulky manly way. Try not drinking any pop or coffee and just drink water instead, that really cuts out any extra calories and the water is great for your skin. If you don't have access to a pool, try a pilates dvd, one that is an all over workout. It's tough at first, but you feel great afterwards. It really helped to improve my posture too. Good luck!!

they do. don't know where they got that. I use one at the gym. You think people are going to wear their underwear under their gym shorts? And there's a tv commercial out now with this little guy on a football team getting dressed with big guys all around and he picks up a jock strap belonging to someone else and it's HUGE. In football, they have jock straps and you put the cup inside the jock strap. Same for baseball. You think they wear their underwear underneath?

It may feel a bit unusual for a few minutes, but then it will feel very good.\n\nHit the swimming pool at soon as possible.  Once you have enjoyed a refreshing skinnydip, you will never want to wear a wet bathing suit ever again.

5 names are just titles, they shouldnt be all that important. And umm...i guess that i just wanted to say that you are totally right about the whole swimming/gay thing. I hate it so much. I'm a girl and in the sport so i dont really have to deal with it as much but i hate it when my guys friends get pursicuted just cause they wear a speedo! Its so stupid but i guess thats just the way people are sometimes.
