That being said, mostly due to the ergonomics that will slow you down looking at your pace. Are there any water proof devices out there that tell you pace/distance in pool or ows via earphones?
Really, we needed another thread about this?? It is too much already!!! (-;
Do you want your pace reported in laps or lengths?
Are we talking digital or analog??

While we’re at it, no “real” swimmer would ever wear jammers in practice.
Real Swimmers wear watches…being a kid in the pool or at any level doesn’t make you a “real” swimmer. That’s like saying you’re not a “runner” even though you run 10-20 miles a week or saying you’re not a cyclist when you ride 100 miles/week. Also…speedos are the dumbest set of swimwear ever, no one wants to see your lack of a pecker. jammers ftw.
How’s your seal mask holding up??
Speedos are awesome. You shut yo mouf.

LOL! Haha, when I started swimming competitively we did not wear goggles, only for practice. (true story) Hate to burst your bubble, but Seal’ don’t fit my face.
I get what you’re saying though, as I usually can easily tell the triathletes with the long jammers, bag of toys, 2 water bottles with appropriate logos on them depending on the coach of the day, plastic bag with too difficult to remember workout filled with worthless drills as they saunter unassumingly to the lane…and picking up that damn kick board…

You have to know these things when you’re King.

Truer words were never spoken. Wear it because you CAN!

The evolution of a swimmer:
“Those speedos are so uncool, I’ll never wear them. Jammers for life!” → “Those jammers are so uncool, I can’t believe I ever wore them. Speedos for life!”

You can also tell because he hasn’t got shit all over him…
Well I didn’t vote for him

Real swimmers bring a huge clock to the gym and place it at the end of the lane. They also wear a parachute and carry a brick inside their speedos because swimming is supposed to be hard. If you’re enjoying it you’re doing it wrong.
heck yeah!!!
Tempo trainer pro can give you goal paces that you swim to.

I swim with our retired high school coach. He is a real swimmer.
He swam against Mark Spitz in college (“I was ahead of him for a while - got on my block firstâ€).
He recorded my swim form using a camcorder and some PVC tube construction, then we put the VHS in the VCR in his office to watch it.
He and his neighbor will cut each other’s hair on the pool deck while I’m swimming.
Despite being 240 years old with a bad ticker and 1.5 functional shoulders he still races open water.
I don’t know many swimmer more real than him. If his old ass can choose to wear brightly colored jammers, I reckon anyone can.
