Lots Of Speedos On Swimmers.

[Swimmboy]

Most college teams compete in the brief Speedo style suits - I was at a tri-meet a week ago (three large teams from the U.S. East Coast) and every guy wore the brief suit - not one pair of jammers. BUT, the jammers are believed to be faster (smooth fabric, and hold thigh muscles in place), so jammers are preferred at the end-of-season conference and national championships - at those meets, probably 95% of guys will wear jammers. So if you want to see swim meets with guys in the briefer suits, you have just a couple more weeks - by mid-February, the conference meets will be taking place.

I've been researching athletic suits for the past 10 years and it seems there's definitely a trend toward the pre 90's look and feel.

These videos are fairly recent and the shorter look is making a come back:
