Guys...Is it more comfy to swim in a racing speedo or in those long swim trunks?
I'm not asking which you look better in just which is more comfortable for swimming.
Answers:
Fast Skins are designed for less drag and increased muscle performance by compression
Speedos are just the old way of thinking that less material is faster
and long trunks I'm assuming you mean board shorts, should not be used unless you're not worrying about speed
so in pure comfort, boardshorts are less constrictive followed by speedos and then fast skins.. but opposite when looking for speed
How do you hold your breathe underwater longer?
I prefer neither!I swim in under armor speedo but not like briefs. I prefer the spandex shorts. Swim trunks drag in the water and speedo briefs just look silly.
Why is swimming the best exercise?
Strictly from a comfort perspective, the shorts are better. I wear shorts when playing at the pool with my kids. They are not better for swimming laps, though.When swimming laps, I opt for a tri-short, which is similar to bike shorts but shorter in the leg and with a smaller pad. They are more modest than speedo-type bikini shorts but offer similar streamlined characteristics.
Who was the swimmer who went 18.7?
The long swim trunks. Speedo are to restraining and irritate the inner thigh area..Can someone tell me what is better, chlorine pucks, or liquid?
I prefer the jammers because the speedos do irritate the inner thighs, plus it doesn't allow much for the imagination if you know what I mean. ;)Should I shave my legs for intermediate swim class? Would regular trunks be okay?
I'm a surfer so I feel more comfortable in longer, surf shorts. I swim laps and practice in surf shorts. If racing or swimming for time, I feel a lot faster in Speedos. It's just embarrassing wearing the Speedos. The longer Jammers are okay but my legs feel restricted.How can i perform a perfect front crawl? Can u give me a website or link i can go to? thanx?
