Also this is why those swim tech suits have been banned from competition as people were getting faster times in them than without....see: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/25/sports/25swim.html.

![]() I should also say that for a lot of people, neoprene shorts don't work. I've videoed several already and they were still dragging their hips in the water, despite wearing neoprene jammers.

![]() You don't need a "perfect" swimsuit (if there is such a thing), but you should get some kind of competitive swimsuit. For guys, there is the choice between a brief and a jammer. Briefs are slightly cheaper and faster than jammers, unless you buy one of the really expensive suits with a high-tech fabric. But if you're a beginner, there's no reason to invest in an expensive suit yet. Wait until you've progressed enough to be ready to go to Olympic trials.
