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?
Buy a polyester mesh style training suit. These are much more durable than a competition 'Speedo' style suit, and have a little more coverage! Don't buy a lycra competition suit to train in. They stretch out, fade and generally fall apart way too quickly.
Here's an example of the training suit I'm talking about: http://tinyurl.com/3982n
