How it all started

I was on the school gymnastics team, we had boring plain black tank leotards. I loved looking at the other girls in their shiny colourful leotards and always wanted to try one. My tank leotard was pretty similar to the school swimsuit which i loved admiring during swimming lessons. One summer while visiting my cousins I thought I would try on her swimsuit when there were out of the house. I loved how it looked, admiring myself in the wall mirror in her room. as soon as I got to university I bought my own things.

I actually managed to try one of the girls school swimsuits once, there was a house party, where the parents and sister in the year below went away for the weekend. we were supposed to use the sisters room as extra sleeping space but everyone just crashed on the couch. so when i went into her room to use the en suite realised no one was around as it was still early morning. and raided her sports ware drawer and found her school swimsuit as well as a few sports bras. i went into her bathroom and tried them on, admiring myself in the wall mirror. Our school swimsuit had a paw print on one of the butt cheeks that was bright orange. the rest of the suit was black with racer back straps. The leg holes were also a unique shape. The came to an angle near the front rather than being round. To this day I have not had a swimsuit that made me feel the same way. So many great memories of admiring classmates means that the swimsuit has sentimental value to me.
