You are so right. Mario did such a good job acting that Mario seemed to change to Greg in front of my eyes. Oh, well.

Here is the real Greg Louganis, who also has a nice package (and I hope a good sense of humor).

College swimming season's getting closer, but it's not here yet - still water polo season in these parts. Caught a game between UC San Diego (#12) and the Long Beach State 49ers (#7) today, and managed to take a few photos while I was there.

Pumped up and ready to go.
Certainly not the grizzled old 49er from history class.
Hmm, why is everyone looking down?
Quick, while they're distracted...

The gallery.

Great pics as always, calguy.

Casper Landeweerd is a 21 years old Dutch Water Polo player.

He was photographed last summer by Paul van der Linde.

The whole album is here

Finneye, thank you so much for bringing this gorgeous guy to my attention! He's so good-looking, and his body is absolutely beautiful! What a wonderful gallery. Seeing all those great photos really made my day.

Ian Thorpe passes the baton to Michael Phelps in pool encounter. And what hefty batons they must have!

I really love swimmer's bodies -especially when wet.

Just to keep up my contribution to the Hot Swimmer section, here's a view from poolside:

Stay tuned for more.

What's he doing with that left hand? Clearing out a wedgie from swimming? Or is he anticipating what he'd like his buddy to be doing to him later?

Hi Everyone
This section hasn't been updated since '07 so here’s my contribution for January ’08.

I just ran across a great library of swimmer’s bodies :

Happy New Year

California Dolphin

Thanks for the great link, California Dolphin! I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your next contributions!

So that’s how the Aussie swimmers will look in Beijing this year in their ’Speedos’… >Sigh<



A gallery of the collection launching

They look like superheroes who forgot to put on boots.

Michael Phelps showing the American version of the superhero outfit


Ryan Lochte fills it out quite nicely

Phelps from a better angle

Looks like the Aussie males have an advantage over the Americans.

LOVE that pic of Michael Phelps with his arms outstretched ... "Hi, I'm Michael Phelps, and these are my genitals."

No, AUSMUSfan, they don't. I saw a bit on one of the morning news shows (The Today Show?) with a few of the US athletes showing off the same uniforms.

And you can watch that bit again via Ryan Lochte's website

Where Do I Apply For This Coach’s Job?

He has a really novel approach to improving swimmers perfromance!!!

Need a little more melding.

Or just goggles even

I use not to like full body suits. Now it's an open question



PITS? You got 'em

Standing next to him is a pearl-clutching experience

Dropped pants facing left

A few local shots from a water polo tournament at UC San Diego last weekend:

Rapt attention.
Aggies? I don't remember farmers dressing like that.
Not a morning person.

No speedo is adequate for the butt of German diver Sascha Klein



And the front ain't so bad either

Nice...er...chin ya got there freund

Frederick Bousquet is one of the most talented top swimmers of France.



Not only has he showed off his muscular body and spectacular tattoos in and at the pool, but he has also posed for nude sessions with the American photographer Raymond Grubb.



It seems as if the shots by Raymond were not artistic enough to Frederick. So he apparently grabbed a webcam and started making photos of his own. Check them out, but please keep in mind that these photos are absolutely not office safe! (The photos are reversed because of the webcam.)

See also this Italian gallery of Frederick.

You're an inspiration Finneye - and a bad influence for me at the moment! I just opened those in a library that bleeps the word "gay": giving an error when you search any term containing it. Shows you what a fat lot of good that little bit of censureship does.

But back to the inspirational bit: those French swimmers certainly live up to the sexy frenchmen stereotype. And this one even has a heck of an interesting name: Duje Draganja

Duje

looks like quite a mouthful in more ways than one. As does Fabien Gilot

Fabien

Wonder who the lucky guy is here



This foresome is called Les 4 beaux gosses de la natation Française which I think translates as "The four great (male) beauties of French swimming" more or less

Frederik Bousquet, Alain Bernard, Amaury Leveaux


If they were the same foursome that swam in the Beijing Olympics, then they were greatly pipped at the post by the Yanks (led by Phelps) as the Brits say, in one of the great relays of all time. I think Bernard is the one who tooted his horn a bit much before they were thrashed, in friendly way of course.

I should have paid more attention during the Beijing Olympics swim competition. Nice!

Now these are cheerleaders I'd go for, as opposed to the pom-pom variety!



These college swimmers are not as buffed as their Olympic counterparts, but they get brownie points for braving the c-c-cold late October night in the Northwest. The boys stripped down to try to cheer/pump up the crowd.

Posted on this.

Great shots! Are they yours? Are there more?

Hey it looks like the sponsor sof the football game may have gotten my message:

Do former synchronized swimmers count? Mr. Gay UK 2008 Gino Gamecho:

Caught a local collegiate water polo match this morning. Just what the doctor ordered to take my mind off many other things, and thought sharing might help some others with the same problem.

The face this one makes as he shoots is priceless.
Gotta respect a man who chases balls.

Hi Calguysd
Thanks for the excellent W-Polo pix.

I love all the bare and soaking wet skin!

European Championships in short course swimming took place in Rijeka, Croatia last weekend.

Two of the top teams at the championships were the Russians and the Italians.

Pardon me, but those "Tech Suits" are the UGLIEST piece of athletic apparel that have ever been devised. They have such a strange, weird, creepy appearance like a mannequin in a department store.

Even worse, watching someone wear and swim in one of those things is like watching someone bite into a juicy lemon - you can't "Separate the sight from the sensation" and I can't imagine how anyone could stand swimming in them.

Seems that the real idea behind these so called "Tech Suits" is that clothing designers are trying to "assert" their presence and products into the athletic community and get more brand recognition in the process.

However I personally, find tech suits a "turn off" (figuratively and literally) and I'm strongly complelled to switch off any televised athletic event where they're used.

So to the sponsors of televised swimming events, here's my message:
http://www.outsports.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=40174

You want me to keep watching the events you sponsor? Then bring back the Speedo ASAP!!!


California Dolphin

Thanks for that photo Finneye. It perked up my day considerably. And thanks to those swimmers who took down their tech-suit tops for the photo, it you're reading.

Let's not forget to give some credit to the well tattooed French team, here celebrating its freestyle relay victory in Rijeka.

Neil Patrick Harris and his castmates reenacting one of the best moments of 2008.

Low Riders!

OMG, that's really low!

Jeez. What next? Now swimmers will have to get bikini waxed.

i saw a pic in flickr... and this guy's swimsuit is also very low...

Not Safe For Work

And it looks like he's still waiting for puberty to kick in. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt though, and blaming cold water shrinkage. That said, he must shave or wax.

OMG is that "little" boy even 18? I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and say he shaves or trims down there. I think you can see some pubic hair cuz hell...if those speedos fall any further you'll be seeing his manhood. Or boyhood in this case. Thats almost child porn.

you're scaring me with your comment that it is child porn--- didn't think it's a little boy, but only the photographer would know.

Now that's low. I bet he has a "coin slot" too! LOL



Hmmm...showed this a buddy and he thinks it is PhotoShopped. Now that I look again, the waistbands on both look a little fuzzy and sort of odd. Could be modified I suppose.

I don't think this is photoshoped so it is an untouched piece of art...

nice
