Colour of the month challenge Jan 17

[Swimmin]

I'm just back from swimming 49 laps (ran out of time for the usual 50 laps) in my Desmiit black briefs with orange stripes on the hips. As I said before I really like this cut especially once I got over the fact they are asian cut and very low waist. They always stay in place.

I was unfortunately the only one in briefs while the vast majority were in black jammers. Maybe 4 or 5 in square cuts and only 1 young man in board shorts.

I decided they are durable enough as I already used them about 20 times for my weekday swims in the indoor pool I always go and only rinsing them in the shower after my swim. They are just starting to get a bit loose. For under 10$ this is a fantastic deal nothing else I ever had can beat.

Another relatively cheap option I sometimes use is the Yingfa brand in briefs and jammers. They cover a bit better and still are comfortable to wear.

I wish I can continue to have the drive and energy to swim so much because all that work pays off for my health. I am not in super top shape because I only started swimming 1 year ago and just the past 5 or 6 months really increased the amount of time I spend in the pool. Last year day for day I went to give blood at the red cross (however you say that in english) and they refused me because of very high blood pressure. 167/114 if I remember right... I googled on ways to reduce blood pressure and the main factor is doing sports. That is the main factor that got me to start swimming. As of quite recently I checked my BP it was 106/73 which is supposed to be in the optimal zone. I am going again to give blood this coming friday and expect everything to work out good. Another nice side effect is I have lost over 20lbs while gaining muscle mass. I now have arms I never had before.

I cannot thank my young 14 yo friend enough for teaching me how to properly swim when I started last year. He is doing all the lifeguard certifications so he has to swim as well. He gave me all kinds of challenges one of which took me months to achieve (600m in under 18 minutes). I can now do it under 11 haha.

And also thanks for the people on this site. You all make me feel less of a wierdo for preferring briefs for swimming.

I think Swimmin has stolen all the extra points for last swim of the month, well done.
Glad you are enjoying your swimming, I own 3 pairs of Demiit in various colours and designs and have worn them in France and love them.
Am wondering whether to count the Yingfa briefs with the blue trim count as royal blue for next month.

Super extra points for swimming on the day of a super blue blood moon.
