I did the usual 1500 m swim then some pull and kick buoy training. Was wearing the red Arena Sarados swim brief again, feels normal rather than new now but still like the fit and how it looks.
There were three other men in the pool (but lots of women), one was wearing shorts, another was in jammers, the third in square cuts and I was in swim briefs. The women were all in one piece suits, a few with fuller figures had skirts added over the basic one piece design. I suspect that men wishing to swim lengths find it hard to decide what to wear, are put off because shorts are no good for swimming training while jammers look too technical and square cuts and briefs seem too brief compared to shorts they are used to wearing. The result is that they swim in longer shorts a couple of times getting repeatedly overtaken and give up.
Tried on a pair of yellow Wet Tackle swim briefs and stepped into the shower to see how they behaved. They rapidly became very see through and although the lined front was transparent it showed the shape of everything in detail. I am now thinking that I should seek a darker shade of yellow when I order the Arena Santamarias. Transparency is not advisable in a public swimming session.
I notice that a lot of the Arena Santamarias on sale on Amazon 2 days ago have now gone. have they been ordered by Board readers ?
