My trend is how "fastskin" swim suits are becoming more and more popular with swimmers to the point that they are seen at every big meet.
As far as reading about my topic, I've found a blog that is deticated to these suits. I've been making my way through the posts and they're very interesting. Also I found a couple articles about how when Speedo created this suit and how it's been giving athletes an advantage in some meets. I've also been reading some product descriptions on Speedo's website (this things are VERY expensive by the way...) and I feel cool knowing all this stuff! I really like my topic and it's something I can relate to (hopefull I'll be wearing one at the State meet this fall... XD)

You know it's a trend when there's a blog dedicated to it! But that's good that you could find one that you are excited about. Maybe you could convince someone to get you one, for your 'trend essay'. ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat progress! Maybe tomorrow you can get some help finding statistics on the sales of these suits over the last 3 years, use by professionals (olympic swim teams?), scientific reviews on why the suits work, etc, etc.
ReplyDeleteI think Clara's got a great idea -- convince Speedo to let you test drive a suit for your research!
