Is this a brief or a trunk?

It is a swim brief, often called a Speedo-style cut. It sits close to the body with minimal coverage, unlike swim trunks or jammers.

The shell and lining are polyester. Nike lists the fabric as moisture wicking.

Is it good for lap swimming?

Yes. The brief cut and polyester fabric suit training and lap swimming, where less fabric means less drag.

Jammers cover the thigh and offer more coverage. This brief has a higher cut and less fabric, which some swimmers prefer for freedom of movement.

Polyester generally resists chlorine better than elastane-heavy blends, though rinsing after each swim helps it last.

It is offered in men's US sizes from small through extra large. Check the fit against your waist measurement, since brief sizing varies by brand.
