Since it's debut at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, the Speedo has been and remains a controversial piece of swim attire. For well over half a century, a legacy of discrimination against aquatic enthusiasts who dare don this minimalist piece of nylon fabric at the public swimming pool or beach continues to exist. According to the Washington Post article "Into the Deep End of the Pool," (washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/20/AR2008062003080.html) there have been reported cases of this oppression as recently as the summer of 2008.

In "Bandar's Bathing Briefs," we set out to address this crisis and encourage Speedo lovers everywhere to be true to themselves and wear their tiny bathing suits with pride. We all must work together to end Speedo discrimination once and for all!
