That sort of aid is for race day. It's like drafting on a training ride My Race Log. As far as training, regardless of jammer vs speedo, you want to wear a drag suit. Outside application : No outside application shall be added on the material. I have Speedo brand jammers.
When I went from board shorts to jammers I cut 7 sec off my 50 meter time. Honestly, no one wants to see that! But it's like the american football receiver who always trains at full speed, your stroke and kick hydrodynamics are gonna change with speed, so why train with drag shorts? Originally posted by taylorz13 More DRAG in traditional speedos than jammers due to hydrodynamic law of physics known as "banana hammock" drag.
This thread wins! Some of the "youngish" triathletes i. I don't think I would find that too comfortable on the bike, but hey, I haven't tried it For now, I'm going to stick with tri-shorts or onesies because I'm sure nobody wants to see me in a speedo during a race. I've never seen a true speedo on a triathlete I've objected to seeing. Some are self conscious but shouldn't be in my view. So long as there isn't a lot of thigh hair, I can't imagine there would be much difference in speed between speedo and jammers.
Hair can slow the speed on both swim and bike but you have to be pretty committed to speed to shave as a male. I did see a thong on a male I found objectionable - his belly was enormous and between the strip at the back which was hidden and the belly handing so low in the front he appeared, at first glance, to be naked.
Not a good look. I train with a speedo on then I put a bigger sized drag suit on over it. It's what we did in swimming years ago, and hey, if something works don't break it! Also I've heard if you can buy an old Phelps used speedo, you'll cut 10 seconds off per hundred On a side note I still have an old speedo jammer that was the "sharkskin" material, or whatever it was that's illegal in competition nowadays.
Polyester PBT — short for polyester terephthalate — is lightweight, fast-drying, and snag-resistant. Nylon has a smooth, soft fit with good elasticity and abrasion resistance, but is not chlorine resistant. Your trunks, briefs, or jammers need to be flexible and comfortable. The more comfortable you feel, the more you can focus on your form and techniques in the water. Baggy swimwear can also come loose in currents or waves.
Before choosing your garment, make sure it is the correct length and the waistband sits comfortably against your skin.

Swim Shorts vs. Sure, all eyes will probably be on you, but that is a very good thing at least in my book. Yes, speedos are comfortable, I promise! I think men need to embrace their butts more. Thankfully, speedos are tailor-made to make your booty look great by lifting it up, cinching it in, and keeping it tight.
Speedos underneath. Some people wear 2 regular bathing suits, with the outer one who cut up for drag. Some wear panty hose for drag. I would say for yards, difference could be seconds - maybe. Alot of factors to consider. Slap a wetsuit on and do open water swim, and you may potentially be talking about seconds faster per yards - assuming you are average swimmer.

I've done a good number of s interval training with both jammers and my regular non-compression swim shorts.
To the point that it's pretty demoralizing for me to not wear them. It will also depend on how 'baggy' your swim shorts are - I suspect my shorts were slower than even board shorts, as they were poofy and not the same thicker material as board shorts which would at least stay straight in the water.

I am not sure how tangible this is, but I was always coached to use a Speedo brief and nothing else. Feeling the water is crucial for the development of a swimmer. I was always told to never use a drag suit because it changes the way your hips move water through your legs Certain jammers can enhance water flow if they fit correctly ie. And, on a side note, if you do quite a bit of pulling, a Speedo will allow you to grip a pull buoy much easier.
