Re: Swimming Lessons for Adults?

Hey let's work on that left arm recovery! Look how horribly it's crossing over the centerline and throwing your whole body out of line. You want the hands to enter at shoulder width. There's nothing like a video to show yourself exactly what's going wrong with your technique. Perfect example here.

Re: Did you swim today?

Tonight we tried 6 x 200 on 5:00 sendoffs. I held at 2:50-3:01, just barely out of the ten second difference max that Coach asked for. I wanted more rest time between swims. Coach said no. This is hard on us old people! Heart rate got to 146 so it is a little easier than the ten 100's I've been doing.

Re: Anyone else notice a major increase in speedos at the pool

In the 5+ years that I've been wearing speedos, I can count on two hands (maybe one) the number of other men wearing speedos. No increase here. :( Maybe you have to go to where actual hard core swimming is going on. Those of us who really get after it on a daily basis will quite likely be wearing a...

Re: Swimming Lessons for Adults?

Latestarter the trick is to swim a prescribed workout. A certain distance with a time goal and a rest and then go again. The time plus the rest is the sendoff interval. For instance a workout I swim often is 10x100@3:00. That is ten 100 yard swims and I leave for another every three minutes. So if I...

Re: Anyone else notice a major increase in speedos at the pool

I follow a lot of swim teams on Facebook and when they post photos it is only too obvious that some teams have the vast majority of boys in speedos. Notice that most coaching/instructional videos that come out in groups like SwimSwam have swimmers demonstrating drills and technique, they almost alwa...

Re: Anyone else notice a major increase in speedos at the pool

At our Masters meet yesterday it looked like about one in four guys wore a speedo. You know that masters swimmers don't necessarily have great swim bods and pictures of most of them would not be appreciated in this forum. They are in better than average shape but that isn't really saying a lot nowad...

Re: Did you swim today?

Lately my workout has been 10 x 100 free on 3:00 sendoff. Taking a second off the time every week. Holding 1:14s this week. Wears me out. I use a TomTom unit to monitor my heart rate, a very handy tool for determining how hard I'm pushing it. I can get it up to 155, which is plenty. It comes down to...

Re: If you doubt yourself, wear something else.

I wonder what the biggest speedo ever was, and if there is a photo available. That would be an interesting topic in the photos threads there.

Re: If you doubt yourself, wear something else.

Seeing these guys before they join the swimteam is very telling.I can tell when a young man is being made to wear a speedo brief when he has worn jammers.The looks on their parents faces when they come to me to let them wear jammers.I tell them they either wear speedo swimbriefs or they don't swim ...

Re: If you doubt yourself, wear something else.

Unless they are on a swim team, in which case they and all their buddies are totally into wearing their speedos . It's just totally normal and they are perfectly at ease anywhere in them. I mean, why wouldn't they be, they are in beautiful physical condition and they know it, they are the young ones...

Re: HBO Here and Now Pool Scene

Not uncommon at all. We swimmers will wear the proper uniform! I can't even tell you how many years it's been since I swam in a jammer. Hate those things.

Re: Suit fading

You're kinda stuck with Solar or Euro then, both have "Extralife Lycra". That's about as racy as the briefs available at swimoutlet get. Your story causes me to guess they don't hold up nearly as well as Endurance and Chloroban fabrics though. Euros were just on sale for $12, I got one but haven't s...

Re: Suit fading

Most suits don't last long in a salt or chlorine pool unless they are specially designed to. In the Speedo brand look for the word Endurance in the name. With Dolphin it's Chloroban. I see my latest Sporti Euro's tag touts a new long-lasting ingredient. I've had good luck with Endurance and Chloroba...

Re: Underwear under swimwear?

I cut the liners out of board shorts. Usually wear a speedo underneath because the shorts will be coming off as soon as possible. I like to get a nice speedo tan every summer, plus I swim every chance I get. My work includes boat rides at one of the lakes every day so it's a safe bet I'll be wet wit...

Re: If you doubt yourself, wear something else.

I'm guessing it's simply a worry that others will not like what they see, perhaps feel they are not physically attractive, or worse. Where I swim, it's a hospital owned rehabilitation health center, not so much a muscle gym. While some very fine male specimens can be seen there, it is far, far more ...

Re: Disappointing new speedos

Just use their online return program, send them back, they will credit you the price and give free shipping on the next order. Also share this sizing info on the product's review page so the next guy doesn't have the same problem. Swimoutlet is great to deal with, this will all work out fine.
