Best Answer

swimmers wear bathing suits or speedos because the outfit helps them swim faster.

Swimmers wear suits. They wear suits because it reduces drag, compared to clothes. swimmers also wear a type of suit called jons. Thoes go to your knees and they help you drop several seconds. But they only last usually 15 wears.

Do swimmers wear a jock cup?

Most swimmers just wear Speedo or Speedo-like swimming suits. Some swimmers wear a "swimmers jockstrap" too. A "swimmers jockstrap" has a narrow 1-inch waist-band, which is smaller than the standard 3-inch waist-band of a standard jockstrap. The narrower 1-inch waistband will not reveal the jockstrap as much and the jockstrap waist-band will stay under the swimming suit. However, male swimmers who want to show a bigger "package" may chose to wear a cup-jockstrap under their swimming suit to enhance their masculine appearance. But they don't really need the protection of a cup when they are swimming. So it is all a mater of personal preference.
