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!

Luckily at my Y, which was built 2 years ago, we have a full 8 lane SC so we have blocks on either end. I just have yet to work up the courage to dive in... especialy since the place is packed w the youth swim teams practicing when I go.
