Re: Parke&Ronen sale

I second this ..... If you can find your size and the color that you like, this is a really good sale... 70% some of the briefs is almost unheard of for P&R. You can also stack a new customer email sign-up which basically gives you free shipping. P&R are great suits. Modest cut but fit really well (...

Re: Have you ever worn/borrowed a speedo that wasn't yours? How did that turn out?

I am not sure if I borrowed (possibly once) but I definitely had several buddies borrow one of mine. Owning a hot tub, it gives the opportunity for it to happen quite frequently. How do your buddies react? the few times it's happened, they were ok with it. One buddy is a swimmer and literally owns ...

Re: Arena

Arena Polyester is way softer than Speedo or TYR polyester suits. As I mentioned in another post, the sides get smaller as the size gets smaller. The model on their site is probably wearing a 32/34 or something close to that which would be 2.75". Arenas are my go to suits and my kid wears them too. ...

Re: Speedo briefs compared to Arena

I am a huge fan of Arena for my workout suits. I am pretty skinny, have chicken thighs and almost no butt. Even the Arena suits that are available here in the US are pretty high cut in the back and their leg holes are slightly smaller which really work for me. Also, they adjust the sides with the si...

I really like these patterns and there are a few new ones on their website which I think are really great. What's really appealing to me is that they look like 'fashion suits' but built like water polo suits. I could see myself wearing these on the beach (unlike some of my other suits that I wear s...

Re: Swim naked private pool

It was in Hawaii a long time ago when I was in my 20's. And as for what happened after everybody was naked in the pool after a night of drinking, well pretty much what you would expect. It was a mad dash on the guys part to try and talk a girl into going upstairs to one of the bedrooms... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°...

Re: Drawcord hanging out

I have suits that have them on the inside and out. I own both workout suits and 'fashion' suits... with the latter having the cords on the outside. I don't wear the fashion suits to swim laps mainly because they are pretty expensive and will not last in highly chlorinated pool so the string doesn't ...

Re: Swim naked private pool

Naked in a public pool? Yes, dozens of times. As kids, we use to jump fences of condo complexes and skinny dip, sometimes with mixed company. Friends pools, all the time. Hotel Pools, I have a few times. Country club where I use to work, yep did that too with mixed company. Ocean, multiple times wi...

At your ymca do you wear a speedo? Other guys wear speedos? I’ve heard ymca’s may not allow speedos for guys…
I swim at the YMCA during the winter months and also do Masters there. Masters class it is mostly briefs but other times, I would estimate it to be 50/50.

Re: Latest Arena Suits

They don't- just a heat-transfer logo (I think that's how it's applied?). Some kind of sticker thing. So to your point it might be exclusive to TradeInn. They sell a brand called "Mosconi" that I've never seen anywhere else, so I think your theory about exclusive suits is a good one. Sounds about r...

Re: Latest Arena Suits

After looking at the link, they both have the same mix fabric and probably the same cut. Does the Dynamo suit have an embroidered logo like the Santamarias do? Could also be an exclusive for Tradeinn that has been rebranded

Re: Latest Arena Suits

I picked up a pair of Santa Marias in Europe this summer for cheap. Under $15 euros on sale. The material probably won't hold up to any gym pool chlorine so I am keeping them for the beach too. I haven't heard of the Dynamo line so I wonder if they are new this season....

Re: Corka speedos

I had two pairs too. The fit was OK at best but the logo was horrible. It cracked when the fabric stretched and proceeded to peal off soon after. They were not chlorine resistant either and basically were done after 2-3 months of swimming at the gym.
