The official DU Men's Swimming Physique Appreciation Thread

[Patiod]

I hate to admit I was something of a swimming groupie in college, and dated one or two swimmers/lifeguards back in the day who weren't all that bright but had absolutely perfect bodies (although nubby chests and upper arms = not fun).

Nowadays I value brains over braun, but Thank You God(dess) for Men's Olympic Swimming.

Any other Lounge Lizards as happy as me when they peel down those bodysuits after their laps?

Here's a gratuitous picture of Ian Thorpe, just because

1. They do have well-formed, evenly distributed muscles, don't they??

;)

[Patiod]

4. There was a guy in college who would wear just overalls

with no shirt to parties.

He had a perfect swimmer's body, and was kind enough to let us girls have a nice look at the best part (a perfect chest). To this day, that image makes me happy (thank you, Bonzo, wherever you are)

The nice part about swimmers is nothing is over- or under-developed. All just in perfect proportion, and the best ones are nice and tall without being freakish.

2. Ian Thorpe was a luscious slab of hot Olympic man.

3. There is NO such thing as a gratuitous pic of the Thorpedo

:D

[Patiod]

5. I finally figured out why they roll down those suits

I thought it was to make Patiod happy, but this picture pretty much explains it......

7. ............

[undeterred]

6. I do worry that their trunks are going to fall off

due to the lack of butt.

[texanwitch]

8. I keep hoping that would happen.

They could pull the body suit down a little bit more.

[undeterred]

10. Or if they'd dive in with just the trunks on-

and have a wardrobe malfunction. They could swim faster.

[texanwitch]

12. That would work for me.

The diving guys in their little suits are also good to watch.

9. I put in a 1/2 mile this morning

but I ( looks down) don't look anything like that

:wow:

You should check out the water polo guys-they lift AND swim

[AlCzervik]

11. i did, thanks for the suggestion. Very nice.

[texanwitch]

13. I don't care for water polo and watched the guys play.

Any of the water events are worth watching.

[underpants]

14. Yeah and of course it is quite cruel

I mean those horses have to hold their breath for a LONG TIME

[tigereye]

17. he he

:rofl:

:hi: UP!

[underpants]

20. {|)

:hi:

[texanwitch]

18. I think the water polo guys can't touch the bottom of the pool.

That is what I call being in great shape.

[bicentennial_baby]

15. Ian Thorpe lost his clothes!! :

[texanwitch]

19. I guess he is to old to race now.

I was looking forward to seeing him again.

[Patiod]

21. I saw that picture - very feral

I do like the outfit....he looks good in paint

One of the few men in the world who look better in minimal clothes vs. maximal clothes

[tigereye]

16. beautiful guys...

I love the looks of their shoulders and torsos... beautifully proportioned.

[flvegan]

22. Why is the women's uniform so different? It's unfair.

Quid pro quo, beach volleyball.
