Whatever you do, don't let your teammates talk you into a Borat suit. :) The mankini has its advantages. While the other team is standing on the deck in shock, and/or, laughing their heads off, you are off the starting block to win that particular heat! Its a competitive advantage you should utilize. :agree:

I guess you are not a Vampire Weekend fan. One of my favorite songs. I was tempted to post a link to the video.

I just wanna know what kind of suit I should wear to practice and to meets.Wear what you are comfortable wearing in practice. Wear what the team wears in meets (you should have a few practices at which to talk to teammates about meet attire).

Thanks Gull, but I know it as a serial comma. I guess you are not a Vampire Weekend fan.

However, you are not alone in getting swim, swam and swum mixed up on this forum. You're missing an Oxford comma.

I think you are giving wenzelt a hard time. School exams have just taken place here in the UK. Nowadays, if students simply spell their name correctly at the top of the paper, this gives them a good pass mark which allows them to get to University. Many fail to get this right and are not accepted.

Yikes. Good luck to you in your jump to a college team, wenzelt. And best to you in your studies.

That's ok. Schools do not even teach writing any more. So who cares about spelling when we have spell check. Better luck with swimming, let it remain fun for you while you learn a future job skill.

ok so i am starting college and I am going to be on the team. so my problem is that I have not swum for 2 year and it was only for summer teams and when I did like 90% of the guys wear jammer. I just wanna know what kind of suit I should wear to practice and to meets. as in jammer or briefs, and why. I just don't wanna walk in and be the only guy wearing that suit. thanks for your help You can also try to set up a pre-season meeting with your coach/assistant coach to ask any questions you may have about starting up with the team (what their style of workouts are, yardage, expectations, and so forth). While you're there, as a side question, you can ask about the suits that the guys on the team normally wear. That will hopefully help prepare you overall for a great start to the season!

Job apps are online now, welcome to the 1990s. Not always. It depends on the size of the company or what type of job. There are also companies out there that require paperwork to be completed AT the interview. Welcome to the 2010s.

Spell check won't be available to him when he is sitting in a human resources office filling out a job application. ;) Job apps are online now, welcome to the 1990s.

hahah ya Sorry hey about the spelling errors I posted it late last night and really didn't look at it.

They will probably all be wearing briefs. Almost all higher level male swimmers practice in briefs and only wear jammers at meets.

Nevermind what to wear. Just bring your scissors, glue, and a stack of old magazines. :D OMG, too funny!

Sorry, but I can't help but add (second step maybe) it is not "I have not swam", but "I have not swum". However, you are not alone in getting swim, swam and swum mixed up on this forum.

If you are on the college swim team, the college will provide to you the proper team/competition suit. Practice suits are usually swimmer's choice. I recommend to practice in a suit similar to what you will compete in. I my experience (male) college swimmer's and (male) water polo players all wear briefs, none wear jammers. You're overthinking it. Whatever type of swimsuit that college team wore last Semester, they will be wearing the next Semester. If you want to worry about something worry about your workout sessions, qualifying times, and swim meets. Club Teams are not so lucky they have to purchase their own equipment, swimsuit, etc.
