this is probably a stupid ? womens swimming

this ? is not supposed to come over as a sexual ? but i wondered whether women with larger breasts are advantaged or disadvantaged when swimming in races

Has anyone noticed how female swimmers are smaller in that area then the average female.

[Hondo]

It's because they have ZERO body fat while they are so fit. No body fat = no boobs sorry lads

Their big muscles deceive the eye so you expect more

You only have to watch Better Homes & Gardens to see that everything returns to proportion once they get their normal muscle-fat ratio back

Let's face it - as Mrs Hondo says they are basically balls of fat .... but we still love 'em

[bayman]

i understand the fitness & the being lean factor hondo but there would still be some bigger than others & i am asking whether it helps or hinders when in the pool ? (the bigger breast could be like the winged keel )

as for mrs hondo i agree with her

[Hondo]

Those swim suits take 15 minutes to get into I heard - so they would lock down any stray lumps I expect

But, if anyone is still showing some curve despite having no body fat, the suit will quickly make their profile the same as anyone else probably

take a look at Steph Rice in one of those suits she is as flat as a pancake then compare them to those underwear model shots with here ex........

Mate they have ample breasts but as Hondo alluded those suits are so tight the triglyceride chains get flattened out....

And while they have less body fat than the average women they still have enough there out front...

Average female sum 7 Skinfolds for the 1999 Australian Swim squad 64.3 mm (Gore C (ed) 2000)
Average 20-29 yo female in Adelaide sum 6 skinfolds 78.0 mm (Gore C 1990)

Don't forget that every model shot you'll see these days has been altered and air-brushed in some way. Easy enough to add a few inches as well as taking some away.

Actually started to think this might be one of the few forums that wouldn't have a thread about tits...ah well ce la vie

I think it would be a fine line between aiding floatation and adding horizontal resistance.

Excessive sport during the developing years hinders the normal growth of breasts so you'll find that most elite sportswomen will be smaller regardless of the sport.

I was a swimmer and I remember a girl on our squad had a breast reduction - she was enormous for such a young girl.
