Water Polo Brief Vs. Swim Brief
I'm looking around on swim outlet and ebay and wondered what would be good for just laps at my college's pool? Is a water polo one okay? I have a speedo but it doesnt stretch and am looking at zumo or agon or speedo aquablade
Re: Water Polo Brief Vs. Swim Brief
Hey there!
I actually just got a Zumo suit and it's pretty nice! It fits well but I haven't had a chance to take a swim in them yet. They're definitely made with a thicker and more durable material than regular speedos though, probably cause they would take more of a beating while actually playing water polo. I read a lot of reviews saying to size up instead of down and I'm glad I did because they are still pretty snug (I usually wear 32-33 in regular speedos so I went to a 34). They're not too stretchy though, more like the polyester speedos. I imagine that Turbos fit similar although I think other members here can comment on them.
Can't beat the styles they come in though...both Zumos and Turbos seem to have much flashier designs than regular swimming speedos!

Re: Water Polo Brief Vs. Swim Brief
I have a pair of Turbos and they are indeed more rugged but also very tight; the advice to go two sizes up is good advice.
Re: Water Polo Brief Vs. Swim Brief
Two sizes...yeep. I guess they run small because water polo guys like them tight (VERY tight sounds like....) so they dont get pulled off.tylerdurden wrote:I have a pair of Turbos and they are indeed more rugged but also very tight; the advice to go two sizes up is good advice.
Re: Water Polo Brief Vs. Swim Brief
Turbos are very very tight and rugged-no give to them and you might show signicant butt crack and the top of furry pubs,!
Re: Water Polo Brief Vs. Swim Brief
i have a size small turbo - pretty similar to a size 28 nike suit - i've got room for the boys and it doesn't show crack. pretty thick fabric, and very rugged suit for sure. great suit.
Re: Water Polo Brief Vs. Swim Brief
hey john....post a pic.... what print was it?? do you wear a 28 in speeds usually?? Does the lycra on those feel smooth or ruff??JohnC wrote:i have a size small turbo - pretty similar to a size 28 nike suit - i've got room for the boys and it doesn't show crack. pretty thick fabric, and very rugged suit for sure. great suit.
So I was getting stuff out of the utility room and I found my TYR solid in royal. That was one of my first suits. i thot I'd lost it.. YAY!
Re: Water Polo Brief Vs. Swim Brief
Hey Justin: Here are the two turbos I have. The yellow one is called H20 zoom. The fabric is pretty smooth and comfy to wear if you get the size right. The other is a limited edition.
Ha - I also have a tyr, royal with white splice, size 28. It is pretty well worn at this point from swimming.
Usually I wear 26 in the Nike Core Splice Brief in black/varsity red, or a 28 black/green Core Splice brief. My fav suits!
Not wearing the "speedo" brand suits lately.

My TYR is a 26. I've worn it quite a bit so it's stretched a little, but it doesn't look that way. It fits perfect. I should take a pic of it. I'd kind of forgot how much I liked it.
Re: Water Polo Brief Vs. Swim Brief
I for one would love to see both of you modeling your respective suits.
Please! : )
Cheers!
Always
P.S. You can send them to me privately if you want or better yet invite me over for a private showing, thanks. lol...

Tim:
That is a nike hydra in varsity red. They only make black now, and it is an unlined suit.
I have two in navy blue in size 30 if you are interested, pm me.

Re: Water Polo Brief Vs. Swim Brief
Thanx guys, JohnC you look awesome in those and thanks for the posts and goes to the rest. I picked up the aquablade for 10 bucks instead of the zumho, fits sooo comfortably but now my mission is to find cheap turbos
