Speedo Men's Square Leg Poly Mesh Training Suit for Men - Drag

In this review the Speedo Men's Square Leg Poly Mesh Training Suit is evaluated as a purpose-built drag suit for swim practice and lap work; the single biggest reason to consider it is its deliberate resistance design that helps increase workload during sets. The reviewer found it most effective for swimmers who want a simple, durable option to add extra resistance in the pool without complicated straps or attachments, and notes this is a training piece rather than a race suit.

Key Features

• Resistant Training: The deliberately baggy fit and poly mesh lining create extra drag so sets feel harder and build strength and endurance.
• Quick-Drying Fabric: Low-moisture absorption means the suit dries quickly after practice for comfortable changing and less time with wet gear.
• Adjustable Fit: The interior drawstring provides a secure, customizable fit so the suit stays in place during drills and sprints.
• Fully Lined: A full lining gives a smoother appearance and a second layer for modesty or slightly cooler water sessions.
• Chlorine Resistance: The material is built to resist fading, sagging, and bagging so the suit maintains shape and appearance through frequent pool use.

Who It's For

The suit is best for competitive swimmers and regular lap swimmers who want to add simple, consistent drag to their workouts to build power. Coaches and masters swimmers who use drag suits for sprint sets, resistance work, or technique sessions will appreciate the straightforward design.

It is not intended for race-day speed or for swimmers who prefer a tight, hydrodynamic race brief; if you want minimal drag for competition, or a fashion-forward beach brief, look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros
