When I grew up starting swimming in the 6th grade everyone thought that the Speedo brief was the perfect suit for competitive swimming! There is less drag than a jammer.

I have noticed sometimes a drag suit is worn on top of a swim brief that is getting old. Then you can wear a newer brief for the swim meet.

TV showed some of the British swimmers training for the Olympics, and they were wearing briefs. Maybe they just save the knee-length Fastskin suits for the actual race?

Yes I noticed this too on the BBC news, a report building up to the Olympics. They were very brief, low cut, Speedo style. I wonder whether they were the swimmers own, or supplied by GB swimming team?

A clip can be found on the BBC website under sport and titled:
Rio 2016: A day in the life of Olympic champion Ruta Meilutyte
This follows reigning Olympic 100m breaststroke champion Ruta Meilutyte and British 50m freestyle record-holder Ben Proud for a day's training.

What gear does my child need?
Boys and girls will need to wear goggles and fins for practice. The fins we will be using this
year are TYR, Speedo, or Watergear brands. Fins should not be cut. The team suits this year
will be a solid navy TYR for the ladies and solid navy TYR briefs for the guys. Female
swimmers also need a Del Amigo swim cap. The suits and caps need to be ordered through
Ana Platt (anaplatt@comcast.net). Team suits and caps are to be worn for all swim meets.
