G'day guys,

It has been a little while since I ordered some new speedos…. trying to think the last new pair I got and it was probably the pair that Paul the Politician gave me.

The pool her is open again for swimming although the new rules sounds like a pain in the butt I should get back swimming. I’ve been running so feeling OK fitness wise but from swimming four times a week to zero over night has been a bit of a bummer.

I was trying to think of what speedos to buy that would be pool appropriate (white AussieBum Coolabah’s do not fit that role. I don’t particularly like paying US$50 for a pair of speedo either. Over a few days I shopped on the AussieBum website but their lycra speedos have never quite worked for me and the nylon ones are a little loose when swimming in them a lot, and I find they fade pretty quick.

Then I remembered the people from Q Swimwear had emailed me a while back asking me to try their speedos.

They didn’t offer me a free pair of anything unfortunately, but they were having a 50% off sale so it came out pretty affordable.

I ordered a plain black pair and these which I have had some naughty thoughts about already…..

Now the wait begins though… I ordered them two weeks ago (they hand make each pair so they take two weeks before they leave their store) and they are based in San Diego so I have no idea what the post time is for packages from San Diego to Sydney these days. Maybe Xmas? I ordered a new phone from China two months ago and last I checked it is in Singapore….

Anyone else buy some new speedos lately?

Hi Dave,

I have bought 5 pairs in the last month. 4 Arena Team and a pair of Adidas. I do fancy trying a pair of Q trunks but they aren’t cheap. [IMG]//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202007 ... 4167.plist[/IMG]

Howdy from Tex,

Q swimwear are fantastic well made and they are custom made when ordered . I wear their Polo’s they call them, Narrow side briefs.

Watch the sizing, because they don’t stretch much. For example is you a 34 in others you need to order a 36. Same if you are a 32 order a 34. Their size chart is accurate and will show this if you follow it. That’s for the Polos only. I have ordered maybe 4 times over the past year or so. They are made from heavier material and do wear well. If you wear or worn a Turbo you will understand.

Enjoy ...

Gday to you all.

If I'm not mistaken, while they are based in San Diego, the suits are actually made in Mexico. A while back some orders were lost clearing customs. So there is some delay in shipping. Q is a really good company to deal with. Outstanding customer relations. Their water polo and standard brief style are cut slightly differently. Enjoy your new one.

Hey guys: I really like the arena brand. Good range and for me (fat old bloke) the fit is good and true to your size. Need to order more or look at other brands.
