Racing Suits in Practice?

At our practices the swim studs (good-looking, really fast, 20-something-year old guys) where tighter suits underneath the really loose drag suit. The drag suit looks like a gear bag- that meshy, nylon material. They will take off the drag suit if there's a fast swim for time at the end. I only wear one suit, so I won't be taking it off to swim faster! I fear, drag would be far worse!!! :lmao: I don't think I fall into your description category, but I do the same thing with wearing a mesh drag suit, and a nylon or lycra suit underneath. Sometimes I'll take off the drag suit for the last couple of sets to either save my times (if I'm slowing) and/or see if I get faster, especially on sprint days. I do own a fastskin brief (was given to me as a gift), but have yet to wear it, other than trying it on, since I'm assuming it won't last long. I've never seen anyone wear one of those fancy racing suits at practice. It is rare to see guys in anything but a typical brief and/or drag suit, and ladies in anything but their usual workout suit. Although at the noon practices I have seen some gals in bikinis to catch some AZ sun....
