For the boys: Most will want to wear a racing style suit though it is not required. For boys who are not familiar with racing style suits, they can improve performance better than baggier trunks. Racing suits are made by a number of manufacturers, though each manufacturer has a different cut and feel. It is suggested that you become aware of the size, style, and manufacturer that you feel most comfortable wearing. Boys who have not worn a racing style suit will need a period of time to adjust to wearing the more revealing cut, but will soon appreciate its sleeker, streamline feel once in the water.

There are a number of styles of racing/workout suits for men; the most common is the brief which is the most revealing cut. For men who prefer a more modest cut it is suggested they consider a square cut or a jammer suit which looks like bike shorts. When considering material most briefs and jammer suits come in only a lycra material and with repeated use will last between six and 18 months. Some of the square cut and/or drag suits are made out of either nylon or polyester. It is suggested to spend the few extra dollars for the polyester as they tend to with stand the wear and tear of weekly workouts better than the nylon suits. Nylon suits usually don't last much longer than a year; where as the polyester suits can last as long as two years.
