Suit style trends

Ok everyone, another quick observation/question. In my long and distinguished career in the pool (big time sarcasm for Elaine), I have noticed trends on the suits of choice. Females tend to be pretty consistent with their choices, either the traditional one piece, an occasional workout bikini, or even the performance full body length. Males on the other hand seem to be jammers, and then there's me still wearing the old school briefs style. I am almost always the only one at any pool I go to. Now it doesn't make me feel awkward or anything, but it's just something I have noticed, both in my solo time and my time with the team. Thoughts?

  • My observation is that young boys tend to start out wearing jammers, but these quit being "cool" in high school, so they migrate to briefs. After college men usually decide they might want a little more coverage and start wearing square cut suits. I feel like older guys who swam throughout high school and college are much more likely to NOT wear jammers for training than those with a shorter history in the sport.
