Swimsuits, out. Athletic wear, in.

The Miss Teen USA competition will no longer feature a swimsuit event — a move that pageant organizers say celebrates “women’s strength, confidence and beauty.”

The 15- to 19-year-old contestants won’t be judged in swimsuits. Instead, they will compete in a new athletic wear event, a spokeswoman confirmed.
