Swam my usual 1500m today at Hoo, the traffic was so heavy I couldn't get to Strood pool.
Wore brown Geromino briefs:

I've seen Geromino about on Ebay and Amazon but never bought them before, they are more leisure fashion than competitive training briefs, the waist cord bow is on the outside, not hidden away inside. They swim ok andactually looked quite good when still wet in the pool mirror, while standing on the bench to see.

Geronimo are usually expensive, around £30 a pair and these were £5, it's strange, as I search for things to wear for the challenge prices suddenly drop in the colour I'm looking for and new products appear in unusual colours.
I got my yellow Arena Santamarias for £5 from Amazon although they are usually around £17. They seem to have specially reduced the price knowing I was looking for that product in that colour.
After searching for purple swimwear Aussibem (the Chinese label) introduced a purple swim brief in my size.
One colour we haven't used in the challenge is burgundy, I suggest that everyone starts doing searches on Ebay for burgundy men's swim briefs and see what happens, there's none available at the moment.
