The swim brief leaves nothing floating: no fabric that holds you back, no discomfort in the pool. It remains the choice for swimmers who want a minimal cut and complete freedom of movement.
Compare here the models from the Black Friday and filter by brand or size.
The swim brief offers the shortest and lightest cut. You forget it in the pool, it dries quickly, and takes up little space in the bag. During Black Friday, you can find training cuts and some more relaxed styles for the beach here.
Look at the waist width and material. A drawstring stabilises the brief during turns. A chlorine-resistant fibre helps maintain its shape after many sessions.
Arena and Speedo are focused on swimming. adidas offers sporty cuts, while Billabong has a more sliding style. Fantasie also appears in the Brand filter, with different models. Compare based on your use rather than just the brand alone.
For more coverage, try the swim boxer or the jammer. The swimsuit and the swim shorts are more classic alternatives.
The Black Friday aquatic page brings together the whole operation. The activity clearance adds more options.
The swim brief creates almost no resistance in the water. It's suitable for swimmers who work on their glide and for those who don’t like to feel fabric around their thighs. It dries very quickly and fits into the pocket of a bag without taking up space.
A narrow side frees up movement but provides less coverage. A wider side is more comfortable for regular use. Try both over several sessions to see what suits you.
A quick rinse after each swim is enough to slow down wear caused by chlorine and salt. Avoid the tumble dryer, which loosens elastic fibres.
For open water swimmers, the brief has the advantage of drying quickly before moving onto another activity. It slips under a wetsuit or sports kit without extra bulk. Test it out before a long outing to check for any chafing.
Junior sizes are available from several brands. A model with an elastic waistband and drawstring adjusts easily as body shapes change from season to season.
If you're hesitating between two sizes, choose the smaller for swimming and the larger for the beach. A well-fitted brief is forgotten, while a loose brief floats.
Here, in the selection of the operation, then on the side of swimming sales.
The brief allows for more freedom. The boxer offers more coverage, at the cost of a bit more fabric.
Choose the right size and a model with a drawstring.
It's used for training as well as in the pool. For competition, check your club’s regulations.
