Jace good tradition!

For me personally, I don't swim much in a pool so hopefully that preserves the speedo. In any case, whenever its gonna be time for my Adidas to RIP, i will certainly retain it for memories as it is my first ever swim brief in "adulthood".... I wore them before.... but too long ago.

in the distant past, I held on to my 100% nylon tricot trunks until the elastic turned to a hardened goo. It usually took years for that to happen.

with lycra, it's when the material loses its stretch and/or when the lycra "dies" and becomes see-thru in spots. that takes from a few months to about 20 years! Really, 20 years for a couple of pairs. Needless to say, those are not products of the major companies.
