I did competitive swimming in HS (local Swim Club) and all we were
required to buy was the speedo in the correct team color.
Sports is now one of the most expensive and time consuming "hobbies"
a child can get involved in.

I'll mention one more little tidbit on this thread about youngsters
and how their parents raise them. An article in the Thursday
Washington Post described how parents of children on swim teams are
being "forced" into buying their children the same type of high-tech
swim suits that are used by olympic swimmers, i.e., Michael Phelps
These suits cost around $500 and are only good for about a half dozen
uses at which point they begin to stretch and lose their shape,
causing a swimmer to swim even slower than they would without the
suit. I am at a loss for further words.
