On your marks divers, pool training is just around the corner. It’s time to put the wet suit away and go looking for your faded Speedo’s, you know the one’s...It’s the pair you bought when you were 22 about 32 years ago, they started off red and now look a gay pink.

Build for speed but not the cat walk, once on, they automatically make you go blue as you fail to hold in the 6 pack you once possessed. Some say Dave Ryan has a navy pair and refers to them as his nicker Speedo’s.

For the younger members it’s the pair that says RipCurl or QuickSilver,

They start somewhere below your man boobs and go right down to your calf !

Cool they might look but but no one know what your packing (or lack of) and anyway they behave like your own personal sea anchor. Apparently our chairman has a lovely baby blue pair.

Enough said.

Peter and I would be delighted to see you strutting your stuff at the poolside.
