I interrupt your day to bring you this...

Its no secret I love to swim.

Swimming and I are like Lindsey Lohan and the law - super tight. I ventured away from the sport for awhile, but started to dabble my toes back in the swimming waters (pun very much intended) again a couple years ago.

The "athletic" swimsuits I currently own are faaaaaaarrrr past their prime - they are from the old racing days, and one can really only stack so many nasty, see thru swimsuits on top of each other before you just start looking cheap, and really dumb. Especially since the pool I swim in has a lot of young fast athletes that I like to pretend I can compete with. Despite my recent announcement that I won't be doing Ironman next year (should I have done an official press conference for that one?), you bet your ass you'll still find me in the cool kid lane of my local high school at the butt crack of dawn once a week.

A friend mentioned that the best swimsuits ever can be found here.

Ummmm, I'm in love. Although now I have TOO many choices! I mean seriously - when you're faced with either beating down 17 year olds in this suit:

Or either of these:

how does one choose?

While I debate which of these fantabulous suits I will purchase, I shall daydream about all the wee ones staring at elephant footprints on my ass as I pass them in the pool.

* I now return you to your regularly scheduled day*

Happy Training!

  1. LOL i kind of do like the elephant one ... I end up going cheap and getting the grab bag suits where they pick one and mail it to you. Every once in a while you end up with some crazy design but I just kind of own it and pretend like I don't realize that I am wearing the world's craziest looking suit! :)

  2. Thank you for the laugh! I needed that! My favorite (for what it's worth from a non-swimmer) is the Bling Bling one. You go get those 17-year-olds.

  8. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, maybe I'll go for the grab bag JUST for the element of surprise!! However, I will be awfully sad if I don't have elephant footprints on my butt :)
