Jammers

[Dooley67]

Thanks for the explanation Swimmboy. I had never thought of possibility that there was a quasi health/physical component to wearing jammers. But, I really do like briefs better to wear and to look at guys wearing them.

I think that it's a mixture of both, swimmboy. At the college level it is all about time advantage, which was why in my college days it was tiny briefs downsized. At the level I coach, I think modesty is a big factor. My swimmers are not at the level where they are slicing it that close. Thankfully, we seem to be moving to a less puritan state of mind if this year is any indication.
