I'm just getting back into the sport after a 25 year layoff. Currently I'm just swimming in a pair of board shorts I have that I wear when we go to the beach etc and a pair of cheap half broken goggles that my 9 y/o son uses. My question is should I start out with a pair of Jammers and see how those work? I am a pretty big guy at 6'2 255 so I'm just wondering how they will fit.
My second question is do people see some improvement in times just from not wearing the board shorts which I assume cause a lot of drag?
I am contemplating entering my first Masters Meet on March 2nd after only 5 swim workouts. I figure might as well be training for something!
A jammer has much less drag than a board suit.Speedo Endurance or a similar suit is a good bargain.I just saw this one on sale with sizes up to 38 www.swimoutlet.com/.../7886.htm .Good luck.You may want to get a racing jammer for future meets,but an endurance jammer will be so much faster than what you are swimming in now I suspect you'll be satisfied.
