Gabby Logan was a gymnast when she was young. She is now the 39-year-old mother
of seven-year-old twins, Reuben and Lois. The other day on TV she was dressed in a new
swimsuit, which was designed to show off her nice figure, which was admired by a great
number of television viewers.
Gabby, who won high praise for her television show of the Olympics, has asked the
woman of the whole nation to go to the swimming pool, saying the secret of her figure is
regular swimming. She is also making advertisements for the new Sculpture Swimwear of
Speedo, an international swimsuit company, to help women find the perfect swimsuit.
Gabby said, "We all felt uneasy about getting into our swimwear at first. But we
should be excited by the sporting achievements we have seen at the Olympics this
summer. To get ourselves a little healthier, have a try and go to the swimming pool. " The
she said," Swimming is the perfect exercise if you want to feel healthy or simply relax. I
find that going for a swim always clears my mind and also gives me some valuable 6 my
time'. I like the calm of swimming which I can't experience when I am not in the pool. "
A study by Speedo, an International company, which sells swimsuits, reported the
biggest reason why women were put off going to the pool was the way they looked in
swimwear. More than half of the l,000 women surveyed have been reduced to tears when
trying on swimwear. And 48 percent said they felt too self-conscious to go swimming with
their children. Sally Polak, from Speedo, said, " We're hoping to give women the courage
and confidence to get back into the water. "
