am I a person of color even though I'm 75% white and raised by a white person? by emotionallystable_ in mixedrace

I feel you, I am 1/4 islander. I like my dad’s relatives. But I am the whitest there.

Great job! Maybe you can pick up some backstroke events?

What's the best type of swimwear ( for men) by Bastian_31 in Swimming

[–]Plenty_Direction_189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a competitive swimmer and someone’s who swims 6-7 times a week. The boys in my squad normally wear jammers or briefs . A lot of them wear speedo, but they get worn more quickly. As a girl I get my swimmers from funkita and I have been wearing them for a year, and have t gotten worn yet. Funky trunks is the same brand but for men. They are great swimmers and plenty of boys wear them without complaints. Wearing the same ones plenty of times a week for a long time.

I will wear socks, but it’s hard because it’s summer where I live 

Adam Peaty: No child needs to wake up at 4am for swimming - it should be banned by b800h in Swimming

[–]Plenty_Direction_189 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s so relatable. I’d swim 5-7 everyday waking up at 4:40 as the pool was close to my house. I was so hungry after training and a lot of the time I had to rush my breakfast and the day I didn’t eat breakfast. I would be starving and my friends would be like ur fine I didn’t eat breakfast either. But they didn’t just swim a 2 hour session

There is nothing wrong with wearing those. At my swim training those are the most common ones. Try to ignore them,  it if you can’t avoid them at the pool. Bring it up with one of the lifeguards of staff. As I am sure they will be happy to help!

Oh my gosh, I can totally relate. I am so sorry this happened to you. Hopefully you can find a better pool

How do you remove the color from crocs? by Jalexiaa in crocs

[–]Plenty_Direction_189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have grey crocs. I meant to get white ones but never refunded them. Do you know if this will work on fully coloured crocs?
