The blue pair on the lower left I have had for 20 years - and I can now get into them again.
The faded maroon Adidas on the lower right have recently been retired after nearly two years of constant use, since I took up regular swimming again to help gain fitness and lose weight (both successfully!).

Love this collection, thanks for sharing! I particularly like the 4 speedos on the top right with the speedo name branding on the backside.

Thanks! Three of those are from a trip to the US in 2006, the top one is about three years old and bought online.

I love the blue one above the black Adidas three stripes! I think I saw that on Adidas UK's site a couple months ago. Too bad it's not available in Canada.
Does anyone know where else I can find Adidas swim briefs? There are some sites that sell the three stripes ones but not the graphic ones.

Thank you. I'm always going to be a big guy, but since I took my diet and exercise in hand I have lost 60lb in weight, and I am the same weight and waist size as I was fifteen years ago. And I feel a hell of a lot healthier and fitter, and have more energy.

I remember getting the black with fluro yellow speedo on the back when I was 17 or 18. There were a whole bunch of different colour combinations at the time.
I like the old style speedo typography.

I really like the traditional cut of the speedo in your profile pic. You've kept very fit, and look really awesome.

Cheers Thom. The picture is recent but the suit is actually really old from high school. I came across it in a box of old school stuff recently and thought i'd see if it still fits. Your pic looks great too.

Keeping it up can lead to a vary satisfactory form of aerobic exercise
It's good to hear from you, Happy New Year and I'll, send you a PM over the weekend.
