I can smell the chlorine from here. Back when my dad was a college swimming and diving coach, nobody wore wetsuits. NOBODY. Sometimes during state high school meets the guys would shave all of their body hair, including their heads, but a wetsuit? No way.
I love the reflection of his goggles (they didn't wear them either). It was a funny smelling environment in an enclosed gymnasium with an over chlorinated pool and tons of guys in Speedos. The first time I took a HS friend with me, her jaw dropped. I thought that's what all guys wore. ROFL
I appreciate so much the nostalgia this image brings. The juxtaposition between the opposing arms is cool too. This made me smile. |
