Actually, I was shopping for new jammers the other day and my wife "suggested" I get the speedo style instead.

I'm easy... not like they are any more revealing of the jewels than the jammers.

My college roommate was a diver. He and his diver friends would wear the smallest speedos available I think. I never got it, but when you are the only one in a group who does not follow suit, you for sure feel like the one left out. I now do my swim training in a speedo.

From all the races I have done, there is always (AT LEAST) one guy who does the whole race in a speedo. Triathletes have no remorse.

I have to disagree.  Not many people can rock them well, but when I was a Freshman in Highschool I did a summer diving program with my best friend and there were two VERY hot Juniors that rocked speedo's on the diving team that were there for conditioning...and well, we weren't complaining, and even though the only thing I was any good at was the back dive, my bestie and I still enjoyed our summer. lol

Oh, but I HATE briefs...gotta be boxer briefs.

Yep, I'm guilty too.  I swim everyday and find them a lot more comfortable and I don't have to put my legs through still damp jammers or tri suit the next day.

But honestly, go with what you like be it briefs, jammers, or baggies and quit worrying about what others think.    The only people at the pool that will have time to judge are usually the slow or beginning swimmers that should be focusing more on their workout.

I'm hoping that's true! Hubby does his training in swim trunks, but will wear tri-shorts for the triathlon (and our open water swims.)

If it is true, why don't all the top female athletes wear beach shorts all the time when swim training? 

Most likely the same reason male and female top athletes aren't always training on mountain bikes or road bikes with half flattened tires.  Don't get me wrong, resistance training has its place.

Something to ponder. 

And no flip flops AND speedos---PLEASE!!!!!!   LOL!

Hahahaha!!!  I wish I had a dollar every time this picture made an appearance!!!!  LOL!

Even walking out in those when the swim mothers are waiting poolside for their 4 yr old is interesting. 

Let me get this right, you're going there to do training, not a fashion show right?

Speedo up with pride knowing you're training more than anyone else that takes the time to stop and look at what others are wearing.  Throw some trackie pants over them to and from the pool and your wife has no need to worry about others seeing you then.

Different story when relaxing on a beach though, boardies are the go then

Retro division?  That is AWESOME.  It would be even better if you could only have down tube shifters!
