Hi Guys
Does anybody watch the Swim-WM in Kazan? The male swimmers are using jammers without exception in the competitions I watched up to now.
Is there any advantage in using it or is it only fashion? Many years ago they used full-body-suits, which were abolished some time later.
Has anyone an information about the reasons of using jammers instead of speedos?

Jammers at the Swim-WM

Re: Jammers at the Swim-WM
I think the material used in these swimsuits has less drag through the water than even bare skin. Sadly.
Looks like jammers are the current standard. Even the women have a version of jammers that look like shorty style wetsuits. The full-body suits were causing records to be broken in an accelerated and unrealistic way so I believe the governing body stopped their use in international competition. Frankly, I really wish men would go back to wearing just the small briefs again and women the traditional sleek one-piece suits, and everyone break records via strength and athleticism in bare skin, not from high tech fabric.

Re: Jammers at the Swim-WM
I like Speedos a lot and I always wear them when I am swimming at my house. In high school I wore full body suits and in college when the full body suit were outlawed we all slowed down around 5% switching to Jammers. I wear Tech suit Jammers whenever I am swimming at an event. I hate that fact that I have to spend $300 to $400 on a suit but if I can cut a half a season off my time I will do it. The new suits are driving me out of swimming all together. I am the last person who wants to admit this but Speedos are become a diving or water polo uniform.
