[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dumb question for everyone..

How do you get your kid used to wearing 'jammers'?

My son has only ever worn trunks, but we're looking into joining a swim team and he's anxious about wearing the jammers.[/quote]

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, haven't had time to read through the thread just yet. But I had to say.

He'll be much more comfortable wearing jammers. One of my boys with very much the same way at first, he's very big on routines, and was used to wearing swim trunks only. But trunks don't make a lot of sense for multiple reasons in a swim team setting.

They're straight up harder to swim in, due to them creating 'drag', and don't allow for a lot of the mobility that you need (i.e while doing flip turns etc). Plus, he'll feel better with jammers on while out of the pool, as my boys insist they're way more comfortable when wet than standard swimming trunks.

Heck my guys wear their jammers even when just swimming around for fun in non-team settings these days, simply because they're more comfortable.

He'll be fine, especially when he sees all the other boys are also wearing them.[/quote]
