It is of vital importance that butt cheek proximity be closely monitored in all sporting events. Kudos to the referee for directing her attention to this matter.
Ever go to a college water polo meet. Suits cut way high on the side; perma wedgie.
Why do I go? Cos it's cheaper than a strip club.

I think you need to look up the word aerodynamics. They are swimmers, Phil.

Why would you wear the "same model suit" as someone who has a vastly different body type from your own? The "curvy" people in my office don't show up to work wearing the same model of slacks that I wear.
Because they're issued by the team. And swimsuits that are too big are more drag. They try to have them uncomfortably small.
I'm a swim dad of teenage girl swimmers and this story makes me uncomfortable. Did you catch where some other dad photographed the girls' butts so he could show how bad it was? That must be what he told his wife anyway.
Nothing good can come of complaining about the swimsuits.

I agree 100%. By identifying this as an issue it has objectified the girls.
It reminds me of when girls were starting to wear running bras to train at practice. Now, thankfully it is accepted apparel for running in the heat.

The above is why you really should read before commenting.
The swimsuit was school issued, same as other competitors and absolutely nothing like working in an office.

Reading is your friend.
The ref who cited her was a woman. But hey as long as you can claim imaginary victim hood you will.

Right, but why is the school issuing stuff that doesn't fit and why is the athlete accepting this? My high school track team managed to adequately clothe everyone from 98 lb distance runners to 350 lb throwers. If a thrower who was too big for the biggest uniform had come out for the team, the team would have just ordered a new uniform for him. Not that difficult.

The girls didn't say the suits don't fit. Other kids' uptight and/or pervy parents said it.
