Do you remember that statement Christian made at the beginning of the season regarding the swim briefs… He basically had said no way, he did not want to wear one --- and he meant it, I got the impression he would never consider it. Well, a few Sea Otters wore them this year, Owen, James (and others we don’t know) and as Champs came around a couple of more kids we know – Jeremy and Jack – wore them and each one we talked to said they were swimming faster now that they got the briefs. Well, as we were driving home from Champs Christian told me, “Dad, I think I might swim faster if I wore a Speedo.”
While at Meet of Champs there was an on-site swim shop and Christian went with a friend to look inside (our tent was right next to it) and he came running out, “Dad, dad, they sell everything in the tent from the swim store! We can buy the Speedo right now!” Well, I didn’t check them out as if they were from the store they would be excessively expensive, but we ordered one for him to use in the fall clinic with the Marlins. We’ll see how it goes, but it has arrived and he when he first saw it, he looked apprehensive. After one day of swimming with it in our pool, he loves it – in fact he said he likes it better than the Jammers.
