These are some photos I found on flickr and uploaded them directly to this blog. All of these guys are wearing
100% nylon tricot suits--either early Speedos or Ocean Champion with the inner brief or Adolph Kiefer suits. The U of M started my early Speedo collection and I still have most of them.

They would then have slipped into one of several nylon suits they all had to either work out in or swim in. I know for sure that some of the swimmers liked wearing the nylon enough to wear them for underwear--I sure as hell did!
