Downsize
I always trained in a drag type suit and then competed in a size or two smaller-this was commom practice on most levels of swimming. It seems to me that the whole speedo issue has appeared in the last 10 or 15 years. In other words progress went backwords. Even the boxer types of trunks were much more form fitting and in fact I had some that you zipped your way into- I even had a racer which had string side panels-only comment "that looks great-where did you get them" Same thing with basketball shorts-they were! and no one gave it a thought-guys used to sit down for coach instructions and show some jock so what everyone including the girls knew us guys were wearing them and so they had haltes for their boobs! Later on jogging bra prototypes were based on two jocks sewed together right here in Burlington, Vermont!.
