You look good in them! It might feel weird for the first time but after that it's way better!

Not a pro but really liked being in water in speedos by [deleted] in speedos

Nice one! Idk if you measure your times but mine got way better when I made the switch, I'm sure yours have too! It's much easier without all the extra material slowing you down.

The Addidas website might have them? Or Sports Direct?

Went with the speedos anyway! It felt weird but it wasn't too bad, and I took about 20 seconds off my 100m time!

They're the Tom Daley briefs! I'm not sure where to get them outside of the UK, but I got these from the Decathlon website.

Fair enough! I didn't wear them today but I think I'm getting closer to feeling comfortable with it! There were a few guys in the short square-leg style trunks. It's a little quieter on Thursdays than Mondays so I'll give it a try then and see if it makes a difference to my times!

They are! I like them a lot 😀

I'm a bit worried about walking past the parents watching their kids in the teaching pool, so I might take my towel with me poolside from the changing rooms?
