What non-drag swimsuits are best for an athletic 22 yo guy?
Former Member
I'm 22 and athletic and in decent shape. I played hockey and baseball all through high school. I've recently joined a new gym that has large indoor and outdoor lap pools. My city also has year round lap swimming (I live in Phoenix, so the weather is right for it anytime). I figure lap swimming is a great way to stay in shape besides being in the gym itself. Plus I want to start training for a triathlon. I just don't know if I should wear regular board shorts to swim, or if they'll create too much drag while lap swimming. I'm not sure what the best swimwear for a male is for lap swimming and training for a triathlon. I need one that won't drag in the water while I'm swimming. Any advice is appreciated.
I can guarantee you Phelps did not train in jammers. Elite swimmers don't wear jammers except for competition. Obviously I'm an advocate for briefs. If you wear jammers you'll look like a 10 year old or an old man. :)
Polyester is definitely the way to go. Those suits last forever!
Dressing like Michael Phelps hasn't turned me into an elite swimmer yet. I bought the Phelps goggles (which I do like very much) but I'm not any faster. :)
