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?

  • Dude, Once you get over your stigma of wearing speedos, you will wonder why you ever wore anything else. Jammers are OK for training and competition as well, but I will forever train (and probably compete) in the smallest speedos I can find to wear (6'2", 250). That being said, wear whatever will keep you coming back to the pool and comfortable doing it, even if is a taffeta gown.
