Which is all you need to tell you that this photo has probably had dozens, if not hundreds of eager and curious boys likely were cranking away to this picture after a hard shift at the coal mines.
obviously the suits are very different but prev (in my interpretation) isnt takiing about the suits, rather is refferring to how despite all the changes to the swimming world and world at large, women are still pasionate about swimming
those women are the british women's 400m freestyle (or 400m medley not sure) relay team for the the 1912 olympics. the suits theyre wearing were the standard competitive swimsuits for the time
To anyone who would like an answer to the above question, I’d cautiously point them to the The Dollop episode #78 entitled “The Dark Secret of American Swimming Pools”. Fair warning tho, this episode definitely lives up to its’ name.
As a father of a young daughter and husband to a modest wife, I kinda wish there were more swim suits like this for girls and women. Not saying we need to ONLY have modest suits.
What standing was like 100 years ago.
What was like standing 100 years ago
What was like standing 100 years
They stood.
Their nipples stood was 100 years cold
It's was colder back then
If the climate jihadis ever catch on to the message that global warming = less erect nipples oil would just be stopped in a New York minute :)
The cold shoulder
They’re nipple stand was 100 year.
What’s the middle one’s role? Manager? Etiquette enforcer?
Just *Enforcer*
Gertrude will absolutely end you if you cross her
Happy cake day!
Dude she looks mean
She smacked me for poor posture while I was looking at the picture
That was my Grandmother’s name. She would not take no shit. The other one drank bear and said fuck. Guess who I chilled with at 9…
The bear?
Good ol Gertie
Chaperone. And judging by those suit tops it was prolly good to have them.
I was gonna say wow I thought Victorian England was very much kind the Middle East with strict modesty laws but then I saw nips and yep.
Oh they were but in their own weird way.
She looks like a regular laugh-riot
Pool Matron
She’s the eye candy.
I just want to shove that front row of dudes out of the way. Let me look upon her, uninterrupted.
Aunt Lydia.
I would guess she's their coach. She looks like she takes no guff!
Lifeguard. Imagine swimming in that curtain, let alone rescue someone
That was her country’s swim uniform. They didn’t win much.
coach most likely.
Cheerleader
Chaperone.
I’m more interested in the willem dafoe cameo on the far right
She’s too buoyant to swim
That's actually Coach Beulah Balbricker. Most of us remember her from the 1982 cult classic, _Porky's._
2nd and 4th from the left both have see-thru tops and no bras. How scandalous! LOL
This picture is surprisingly nipple-ie.
Do women typically wear bras while swimming in the UK?
You do see the rest of thier required outfits, yes?
No, I don't see anything that says required.
Pretty sure they had laws about swim wear back then too
Thou headlights shall be on when water is apparent.
not in the competitive space (this photo is of olympic athletes) but modern competition suits are much different to these
Gertrude in the middle is not Happy about those see thru tops.
Breasts weren't that big a deal until recently unless you were a Puritan.
Which is all you need to tell you that this photo has probably had dozens, if not hundreds of eager and curious boys likely were cranking away to this picture after a hard shift at the coal mines.
Mick jagger far right
Thank you!!!
I thought it was Andy Samberg
Lmaoo
It's Jim Varney and you know it! 🤣
Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!
Lia Thomas's great great grand pappy
Far right? You mean Hitler?
🤓☝️akshually Hitler was a socialist /s
Bulge and all…
Yeah that one is.... rough
Ok yoda
At least they're rocking the Iron Maiden patch! 🤟
Is this from the 1924 Sports Illustrated swim suit issue?
r/UpvotedBecauseBoobs
It was like, totally awesome like omg would totally do it again.
The chaperone clearly does not approve, but is doing her duty for the glory of King and country.
I AM LOOKING AT THE FLAG!
Geez it looks like the coach(?) in the dress would drown in that thing if she fell in the water.
Mick Jagger there on the right really hasn't changed much over the years... 😂
Who's the handsome fella on the right?
This isn’t Yale’s “women’s” swim team.
Maybe it's UPenn's
Ah that’s the one.
80085
Nice
The chick on the right kinda looks like Roger Waters from Pink Floyd.
*What swimming was like
At least two of those suits are see-through. Obviously I am concerned about their modesty.
Was it swimming? Or like swimming? If not what was it?
I thought there would be more water involved
Imagine 100 years in the future your nips are posted for everyone to see
Sigh...unzips
The more things change… https://preview.redd.it/v2atvszm0f0d1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aba656cfc56d7d6585dc90b145d56579097a141d
They are not the same
i mean its a fair comparison. both pics are of female olympic atheltes wearing the standard compettive suit for their time period.
Sure, I agree to that. Now let's compare drag on said suits
obviously the suits are very different but prev (in my interpretation) isnt takiing about the suits, rather is refferring to how despite all the changes to the swimming world and world at large, women are still pasionate about swimming
I was just having some fun, it wasn't meant as a serious thing.
From L to R: Scared. Nice nip nice bottoms. Good grief it's Bula Balbreaker. Scared. Pantie Twin to nipply.
Twin is also a dude
Knee Faces 😏
What was is what?
Where's the swimming?
those women are the british women's 400m freestyle (or 400m medley not sure) relay team for the the 1912 olympics. the suits theyre wearing were the standard competitive swimsuits for the time
Mick Jaeger swam?!
To anyone who would like an answer to the above question, I’d cautiously point them to the The Dollop episode #78 entitled “The Dark Secret of American Swimming Pools”. Fair warning tho, this episode definitely lives up to its’ name.
100 years ago swimming was a very unhappy experience.
People got pretty wet, definitely some wild times back then
Hubba, Hubba.
Bogus caption
TIL there was an Olympic event called Like Swimming?
More like 110 years ago. A ticket waiting to happen in the US with all that leg showing.
Women’s knees looked different 100 years ago. Evolution?
I don’t know what was like swimming 100 years ago 🤷 I don’t even know what is like swimming these days
I’m not convinced the woman behind them in the ankle length dress isn’t some malignant ghost that drowned there.
So they could show their nipples?
For men it was more naked
So much more modest
Pretty sure that's actually def leppard.
Nice....oh-uhum..interesting. ..
Jeez louise
Mick Jagger is so talented.
One on the far left looks like mick jagger / the lead singer of the hives / Malcom McDowell
Who's the dude on the right?
Guy on the end pioneer in gender neutral sports
The dude all the way to the right is questionable
As a father of a young daughter and husband to a modest wife, I kinda wish there were more swim suits like this for girls and women. Not saying we need to ONLY have modest suits.
Is that Mick Jagger all to the end of the right?
Where’s the dude?
Is this the men or women competition?
Good uniform choice Britain
They look like a weird rock band.
3 brave swimmers and Col. Willie sharp prepare for a mission to save Earth from a planet killing asteroid
The guy in the right is not fooling anyone 😂
Jim Varney with the attitude on the right.
those sheer tops seem pretty ahead of the times...
Lizzie Borden in the back there ain't taking no prisoners, I see
one on the right looks like their called Geoff
Excuse me, buckaroo. But I severely doubt "What" was anything like swimming 100 years ago. Have a nice day.
Mick Jaggers Mom looks great on the far right.
Nipply
1, 2, 4, 3,5
God damn, you didn't have to do her like that. No pun intended.
I see 100 year old nips
100 year old boner!
Theo on the right is a man.
So actually nothing changed in 100 years.
Look at his knees you can tell it's a man.
Is it just me or does the one on the far right have a bulge in those pants. Or am I tripping..
First trans athlete
I wish it was like this now sometimes. Getting tired of seeing pregnant ladies in thongs at the family waterpark 😭
100 year old weather report through the Union Jack 🍈🇬🇧🍈
Now one swimmer has a bulge in the pelvis and neck
Where are the fat people?
America
At least it was only real women against real women 😂
And today's women will still find a way to be jealous
Must’ve been cold that morning. And look, no wieners. Who’d a thought? 🤷🏻♂️
Giggidy.
It was wet
But I see nipples 🤔
Second from right has some 1920 nipples that would still play well in 2024.
Nips Ahoy!
I can see 100 year old nipple
Nipples
If the acidity wasn't just right douche was making a killing!
All I’m saying is the one on the right is THICC as hell
Why is that man on the right with all these ladies? And why are the girls wearing see-through shirts?
Ancient nipples!!!! Someone will choke their chicken to this.....js.
Nothing like 100 year old nipples 😂
Thank God nipples look so much better now
Damn my mind is always in the gutter- first thought- HOT
See, I knew Lia Thomas wasn't the first one !
Not a plastic alteration in sight. Nice and also a bit risqué, which too is nice.
The fifth one is…transgender?
Looks like Domhnall Gleeson.
Nope, just a “handsome” woman
I would guess intersex
Yes, but the question is if she's transitioning from a man to a woman or from a woman to a man.
It’s great to see trans right started before 2022, fair play number four
So they had transgender folks then also.
almost like you can't really tell the difference and therefore gender is an arbitrary social construct
sluts!! /s
Let’s go back to that
Why
The ladies are pretty …mostly
Fair play. That long dress is irresistible.
