This is a great suit.  I wore these for a week of boating, swimming, diving, sight seeing in the Bahamas.  The shorter length is great; really more functional.  I like the pockets and the inside draw string (good because I'm slim and need a real draw string).  Quick drying and comfortable.  Have other speedos, but this one tops the others.

I am using these for jogging shorts, and they work quite well for the purpose.  They are comfortable and durable and suitable for various kinds of weather.  I bought them to replace a similar pair that I liked.

I use it as normal swim trunks for lap swimming or just any swimming.  I don't mind being "slowed down" but I'm not a serious enough swimmer to be able to tell a difference.  These are obviously high quality, what you'd expect from a Speedo product, and I got them for like $21 on sale here which is the best I could find.  Shipping was fast and it came in a little bag rather than a cumbersome box.  I like the color and the plainness of them, also the back pocket is kind of cool.  The inner lining is of a much higher quality than I'm accustomed.  I havn't had it for long but it hasn't faded yet.  They're shorter than I'm used to, but not to an uncomfortable level.  It's like wearing oversized boxers.
