Need Help - swim suit for big guys

Former Member
Former Member
I'm looking for a "jammer" type suit but can only find them up to around a size 40. Which for a guy my size basically fits around my thigh. I'm a long distance swimmer and have been using "swim trunks" for years but lets be honest I might as well be wearing a parachute. I'm definately not interested in swim "briefs" - trust me NOBODY's interested in seeing that! I suspect I'm probably looking for someone that makes custom suits, if I can't find that, then I'd be interested in knowing where to find lycra material and have a local tailor try to make one. Thanks for any suggestions.

    I've never seen a suit up to size 50....of course I'm not at all sure anyone wants to see someone size 50 in a suit that size, LOL. But that's definately an option, especially in open water. I'm a little hesitant to expose the morning swim crowd at the pool to that kind of eye candy each morning. ;) Just go with your badself and get those size 50 badboys. You're there to workout and I am sure nobody will notice much anyhow. Now if you intend to stand on the diving block flexing and posing in them...there may be an issue....I got ejected from my Y for that... ;) Also don't go spending huge amounts on compression shorts...you can get ones from Sports authoirty or the like for $30.
