SPR™ Sep 2008 10:43pm, 8 Sep 2008 472 posts	0 SPR™ So how much do baggy shorts slow you down by and are speedos the only alternative?
SPR™ Sep 2008 10:45pm, 8 Sep 2008 473 posts	0 SPR™ WTF! I might as well wear speedos! I mean I wear tights to run so why not speedos? Lol.

Barky Sep 2008 8:33am, 9 Sep 2008 4,973 posts	0 Barky No one asked me a question! As for baggy shorts - try this little expierment. Swim flat out 25m in a t shirt, plenty of rest and then repeat without the T shirt. You will see a great difference between the 2. Thats what it is like swimming in baggy shorts? Speedo Zogg Arena If they are baggy - they will slow you down, regardless of who makes them!

SPR™ Sep 2008 8:56am, 9 Sep 2008 474 posts	0 SPR™ but can you quantify the difference? 2 seconds per 25m? 5 seconds? Or a percentage increase in time?
