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. :)
Look, as it is, I already have a hard enough time batting back all of those bikini models half my age that hang out at the gym where I swim. It'd be flat out impossible if I started wearing briefs.
