He preferred to swim with more skin, wearing just jammers covering only thigh-hip. I guess because even brief Speedos creates more drag than jammers due to brief's creases that have to happen at the crotch bulge and leg openings--creases that create turbulence and thus drag. The rest of his body he left skin-sensitive dressed only with a shave-down. (He even shaved his fu manchu for the event.) Wearing his own skin, and not a full bodysuit, he still broke World Records and those with said fabric-technology advantage.
