It's time to replace my swim trunks (unless everyone wants to see a lot more of me than they realized they wanted).  I bought my last pair at Sport Chek.  They no longer have any available. 

Where the hell do I buy some now?  Nowhere seems to have any?  I don't really want to wear out my tri shorts (which really barely fit me at present anyhow).  I've tried The Running Room, Sport Mart, Sport Chek.  Where else is there??

Hmm, yes, good idea.  I'll pop over the bridge to Guildford and see what's up.

 

Thanks!

There is a great swim shop in North Van...tucked away...have to know it exists to shop there but they will order things for you and have a great selection. They service swim clubs and teams, etc...they also give 15% discount for tribc, and some club members.

Team Aquatics=604-980-2805 and as far as I know, their hours are M-F 9-5 and Sat 10-5.They are a little hard to find, but well worth the effort.

Good luck with the search...

Right, didn't even think of the tri stores - just figured they'd only have tri shorts (which I don't want to wear all the time - way too expensive!)

Thanks arny - that's EXACTLY what I wanted to know!

Sorry to hijack the thread, but this is somewhat related!

I'm looking for a Neon Green Speedo, since I can't be going to practice everyday in a bland polyester speedo!

Anyone know where I can find one of these gems?  I also need it for an intramural event called "Storm the Wall" in March!

(I need to defend my title and find another one of these speedos since mine went missing after Storm!  http://www.ubyssey.ca/?p=2973)

Swimco on West 4th Avenue in Kits is great -  I bought a pair of Speedo Endurance speed tights and this is my second season swimming in them (2-3 masters sessions per week) and they are still going strong.

Be sure to buy the solution they sell to get the salt + chlorine out of the fabric to enhance the life of the costume.

I seem to recal Nike used to make one - go to Nike swimming - perhaps they still have them.

Hahahahaha

Oh god.

Man thongs.  I think those are the sign of the coming apocalypse.

I wonder if Nostradamus could ever have predicted those?
