The only girls I've seen wear bikinis to swimming practice are REALLY bad swimmers.

No real swimmer is going to wear a bikini for several reasons.
1. drag, all the little peach fuzz, excess curves where the suit is hugging, etc, all create the drag swimmers so desperately seek to eliminate.
2. The chances of a thong falling off or moving during starts and turns is too risky. This can be tracked by the countless number of boys who have bared there a** to the world when they have been unfortunate enough to have their suit fall off. Women are smarter and learn from others misfortunes.
3. While it would make for a great porn flick, a woman in a thong is likely to show off far to much when she bends over for a start in the real world.
Get your mind out of the gutter and give the women of the sport a little bit of decent respect.

The answer is no. The seams of a bikini and the hair on your body create drag. The point is to eliminate as much drag as possible. Wearing a one-piece suit, though it has more material is acutally more hydrodynamical (creates less drag) than a tiny thong bikini.

Hell no.
And if they do they're definitely not taking swimming seriously! swimmers wear tight swim suits, even some guys wear tight fullbody swim outfits, including caps! This causes less friction in the water. So if you're looking for hot half naked ladies, diving and swim meets are definitely not the place for you!

No. Most certainly not, thong binkis will slow you down, and .2 seconds can make all the difference.

I think they should. :-D
Only from a competition point of view or course, Thongs are more streamed lined and would have less drag in the water and for diving, improving performance. :-P

some people overreact to thongs, here i have seen many women wear thong swimsuits at pools while practicing, never seen one wear them during competitions.
some years ago there was a squash player who wanted to wear a thong during matches, she wasnt allowed to.

Umm no because
1...they would fall off
2...do you want your coach to see your *** when you are swimming...
3...if the guys cant wear them why should we...
Swimming is a seriuos sport and requires airodynamics and NO drag .....bikinis create drag
