Swimsuit Contest Shows The Ageless Beauty!

By: Vic Darbourn

Today the swimsuit contest hardly raises an eyebrow. Over the years they have come in for their fair share of criticism but regardless they are now accepted as part of the good old American way. Even if some of us think the whole idea is distasteful, there are many that think quite the opposite. Such as the girls who enter the swimsuit contests.

Many girls see the swimsuit contest as a way of furthering their careers. If they are fortunate enough to catch the right eye, then they could find themselves one step or in some cases many steps closer to a very lucrative career. The fashion, television and film industries are always on the look-out for new talent and major swimsuit contests offer the perfect venue for this type of search.

There are some of us that are born to look absolutely fantastic in a swimsuit, but most of us will fall into the very average category. For those of us who are always looking to cover up to hide our generous curves, entering a swimsuit contest would never enter our heads.

Rather than focusing on who we are and maintaining a good level of health, a large number of the female population are left feeling inadequate. The swimsuit contest leaves us in no doubt as to what the 'perfect' body should look like. This is an absolutely impossible task to achieve for most of us.

The swimsuit contest is often responsible for great positive changes in people's lives. Just witnessing a contest is often enough to inspire a woman to make changes to her eating and exercise habits. Pre-summer swimsuit parades will also have the same effect, and if it all makes for a happier, healthier person then this is a very welcome bonus.

The swimsuit contest has proven to be an ideal vehicle for raising money or providing promotional support for a great many organizations. For some charities this may well represent their major fund-raising activity for the year. It is difficult to criticize this, particularly when the judges advocate that girls are judged on their poise and physical fitness as well as their beauty.

Some of the more famous swimsuit contest events are those held as part of the Miss Universe and Miss America titles. This section although obviously still very important, is not as prominent as it used to be. Public outcry has been responsible for the swimsuit section now only receiving around 15% - 20% of the votes. Interestingly a national survey concluded that well over 80% of the population were in favour of the swimsuit contest remaining.

Even though it has been said that the swimsuit contest is exploitation of women to the highest degree, it has been around for a long time, and is going to be with us for a long time into the future. Most of us can never achieve the body that is necessary to win a swimsuit contest, but that doesn't mean that we are not the perfect ten inside.
