I have been a collegiate swimming official since the mid-1990s. Among college males, there has always been a preference for the brief suits during regular meets. Only during year-end/conference championships is there a move to jammers (and briefly the leggings and full-body suits until they were thankfully banned), because scientific tests have proven the more skin covered by these 'super' fabrics, swimmers do indeed go slightly faster. But for 90% of collegiate meets, the brief suits never went away. Visit any local college or university and watch a swim meet over the next 3-4 weeks and you will see all the briefs you can handle. But the championship season begins in mid-February - THAT'S when the jammers will appear!
