So here's the deal. I swim recreationally 5-6 days/week increasing my yardage or reducing my time at each visit. I am feeling that I should start wearing something a little more swimming specific. The trunk seem to really be slowing me down in my breaststroke. I don't much care for the looks of the regular bananna hammock Speedo but I think the Jammer would suit me well; no pun intended. I don't have a weight issue, 6 ft. and about 165-170#'s, but the typical Speedo just does not sit well with me. Are the Jammers typically reserved for racing or should I just wear what ever I feel like wearing?

Floppy drag creating swimming trunks are sometimes worn by the top swimmers when they want to increase the difficulty of their workout.
I'm gonna guess you don't need to increase the difficuty at the moment !?! I plan on joining my local Masters as soon as I can manage to be at the pool when they are there. I think Jammers are going to be the ticket for this swimmer. As far as difficulty being increased, you're right, I don't need any more. Although I have increased my 30 min. distance from 400yds to 900yds over the last month I would prefer to use my energy on stroke perfection as opposed to fighting a swimsuit.
