Hello All, I work with a great group of ladies making quilts for those that are less fortunate. We make the quilts all year round and then donate them to the local shelters and directly to those that find themselves living on the streets when the weather turns cold. We use almost all donated materials to make the quilts. We try to use nylon type materials, not only nylon but light weight materials, because it tends to dry much faster than other materials. We are always in dire need of materials. We have received a lot of old suits from my daughter's swim team and have found it very usefull. Her coach suggested that I try posting on the internet to see if others would be interested in helping our cause, so here it is! We cut the suits into smaller pieces we can use so the condition of the suits does not matter at all(we have received some that were just pieces). I was wondering if any of you would be interested in donating your old suits to a worthwhile cause? It is also a great way to recycle the old suits and keep them out of the landfills! If you are interested you can post here or email us at Quilts4homeless@yahoo.com
God Bless,

I actually love the Speedo Endurance Jammers. My son puts a lot of yardage on his two...wears them 5-6 times a week (1.5 hours at a time) and takes horrible care of them, yet they are in excellent condition - the base level Speedo Jammers on the other hand are pretty much worn thin.
Ahh, Speedo Endurance Jammers, I'd bet. That's some quality stitching...And he's probably a breaststroker - a little extra stress on the seam. I have 3 suits in this condition, each lasted about 30 days (admittedly in a heavily chlorinated Y pool.)
