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?

    IMO, Jammers constrict your legs too much over a long workout. For a race they might be ok. I would suggest purchasing a larger size drag suit. These allow for less drag than your typical swim trunk and are less revealing than your small speedo. I think you will find over a long period of time the drag suits are also cost effective due to their long life.
