It has been a little while since I ordered some new speedos…. trying to think the last new pair I got and it was probably the pair that Paul the Politician gave me (click here to read about that).

The pool her is open again for swimming although the new rules sounds like a pain in the butt I should get back swimming. I’ve been running so feeling OK fitness wise but from swimming four times a week to zero over night has been a bit of a bummer.

I was trying to think of what speedos to buy that would be pool appropriate (white AussieBum Coolabah’s do not fit that role (click here to see what those speedos look like). I don’t particularly like paying US$50 for a pair of speedo either.  Over a few days I shopped on the AussieBum website but their lycra speedos have never quite worked for me and the nylon ones are a little loose when swimming in them a lot, and I find they fade pretty quick.

Then I remembered the people from Q Swimwear had emailed me a while back asking me to try their speedos.

They didn’t offer me a free pair of anything unfortunately, but they were having a 50% off sale so it came out pretty affordable.

I ordered a plain black pair and these which I have had some naughty thoughts about already…..

Now the wait begins though… I ordered them two weeks ago (they hand make each pair so they take two weeks before they leave their store) and they are based in San Diego so I have no idea what the post time is for packages from San Diego to Sydney these days.  Maybe Xmas?  I ordered a new phone from China two months ago and last I checked it is in Singapore….

Anyone else buy some new speedos lately?
