Swimsuits, swimsuits, swimsuits!

Well before I start talking about my trend (which I have much to go on about!) I have to tell you about the Catalina show last night! For those of you who don't know what Catalina is, it is a synchronized swimming club at our high school. So last night, Madalynne (Koeppe), myself and two of our friends went to see the show (I signed up for it at our 9th grade orientation and needed to know what I got myself into). So we went and it was AWESOME! The girls were very synchronized and the guys were hilarious (I think the main reason they were so funny was because I know most of them XD). Just thought I'd share :)

Trend! I started with Google-ing and a TON of links popped up. So I started at the top, and some were really junky, sleazy sites trying to sell cheap knock-off suits, but others had very quality articles with (hopefully) genuine information. So I found that in the 2000 summer Olympics (which was the first year these suits were used) there was 15 world records were set and 37 new Olympic records. I am now trying to locate the number of world and Olympic records broken at the 1996 Olympics. I also found that in the 2008 Olympics, there were 21 world records and 66 Olympic records set and only ONE Olympic record managed to survive for both men and women. That is so mind boggling. I'm interested to see how this year's Olympics are going to go (I'm scared to see how hard I'm going to have to work to even think about making it in 2016). So right now I have about 8 tabs open with various articles and my favorites bar is probably upset for being loaded so heavily, but I am making progress!
