Quick question if I may...
When you go for a pool swim - what do you wear ?
Baggies ? Tri suit ? Swimming specific shorts, Speedo's ( I do hope not) ?
I wore my tri suit the other day for no other reason that my board shorts feel orrible now and the looks I got was staggering. So, am I a total berk for wearing a tri suit and/or any suggestions please ?
Yours as ever

It's amazing how much people still stare at things out of the ordinary- I regularly get called a tanker for wearing flourescents on the commute. Even been slapped on the ass by drive-by chavs- one after the other- (i won't say what happened when i sped up and caught him at lights)
Go what you're comfy in I say and let the eeejits stare
if i'm going to do a bike session straight after then i wear tri shorts and maybe a tri-top as well. i'm sure i've had a few looks but my eyesight is bad enough without glasses i can't see them!
wear whatever you feel is suitable for the swim, sod what anyone else thinks.
Speedos are for the.................Boys!
Wouldn't go that far, but you're a braver man than I. Baggy shorts for me... bit of extra drag, makes me work a little harder so come race day I'll feel like sh1t off a shovel!

omg - you would know it's Friday morning. I'd better do some work...
The pool I swim in, no-one seems to notice thankfully.
Pause whilst you attempt to get that picture out of your mind....
I sometimes where jammers - lycra speedo short type things, and occasionally I wear some super baggy bright pink shorts, to increase the resistance!
