I am an extreme amatuer in swimming but would like to step it up and swim for fitness and make it a life long activity.
I know speedos are the swim suit of choice to reduce drag but since I'm just starting out I don't want to look like a fool and I just wear normal swim trunks. When would be a good time make the transition? When I'm confortable enough to were them (ie in good enough shape :))? When I reach a certain fitness level (can swim x distance in x time)? Any opinions/suggestions?

I have never got a lot of use from Speedo. I wash my suit in in the shower after a swim. Still I have not gotten the mileage out of Speedo. A name brand can be put on anything and marketing is real big. Areana, Speedo, Tyr will all work fine. If a Speedo Type suit is what you need for reduced drag to improve go for it..dont worry about what others think. Most people have their own thoughts and issues in a million different ways and are at the pool to swim, exercise and for lots of people to clear ther mind.
I just added the lenght of use you will get to let you know you'll be buying more suits.
