So, partly inspired by you all, I went to the local park district pool for a lap swim this weekend and wore a swim brief. It was the first time in a while for me. It was awesome!
I didn't feel self-conscious at all. Kept telling myself, this IS the right thing to wear for what you're doing.
I just love the feel of how fast I can swim without all that material holding me back. It's really the dumbest thing in the world to wear baggy shorts to swim.
I'm also pretty sure I received a serious ogling from a woman who worked there. Because of COVID, you have to reserve a lane online ahead of time, then check in with the lifeguard when you get there. This woman was sitting off to the side with a clipboard but I don't think she was a lifeguard because she was dressed. Anyway, I could see her looking at me in the reflection of the pool area's glass wall while I was checking in. I wasn't sure if she was looking in approval or disapproval at first. But then I could see her kind of crane her neck to follow me as I walked to my lane lol.
Anyway, I had a blast. I swam for about 40 minutes--which was all of lap swim and only got out because it was ending. Definitely going to go again and soon!
Pool Time!
Re: Pool Time!
Congratulations Ian on wearing your brief! It really feels good doesn't it? You won't ever wish to swim again in anything but a brief now. I'll never forget my first time lap swimming in a speedo. I was so amazed at how efficiently I was able to move through the water. I was almost mad at myself for waiting so long to try it lol! You were right in telling yourself that a swim brief is the right thing to wear. Now you realize how normal and natural it is to swim in a brief. Suddenly all the guys struggling down the lane in baggies look absolutely rediculous. Im sure you gave the lady a nice view too! Glad we inspired you to wear your brief.
Re: Pool Time!
I've never had a problem with wearing a swim brief in a pool - I always hated those huge boardies which hold a gallon of water when you swim! I've been trying my luck with g-string swimsuits from Skinzwear, which are superb. Only when it seems it will be OK - my local leisure club is adults only so no need to worry about kids.

Hi. I'm new to the board but very much into skimpy swimwear. I live in the UK where wearing speedo style swimwear has never been a problem. I've been wearing them since secondary school which was quite a few years ago! I try to wear as brief as I dare at my local gym pool, which is normally a Kiniki André swim brief or a Joe Snyder basic bikini.

Re: Pool Time!
I had four Kiniki Andre swim briefs in red, black, purple and turquoise, but I gave one to a friend recently. I found some of the colours to be more transparent than others. Have you noticed that with any of yours?Schoolspeedo wrote: Mon Nov 28, 2022 3:58 am Hi. I'm new to the board but very much into skimpy swimwear.

Re: Pool Time!
hi-yes. both the turquoise and red have varying degrees of transparency but i wear them anyway. I have recently purchased the white Andre which has ver narrow sides and has double layer fabric to reduce transparency but which makes it quite thick. Nevertheless less a very nice little swim bikini.TANGA TANGA wrote: Mon Nov 28, 2022 3:46 pmI had four Kiniki Andre swim briefs in red, black, purple and turquoise, but I gave one to a friend recently.

Re: Pool Time!
Here in the uk swim shorts are the norm but it’s not strange to see a guy in speedo type designs . I too wear kiniki Andre and Snyder bikinis as standard . Always the smallest thing in the pool . I wore the yellow once even but have bought an Eden by kiniki in yellow which is a bit larger but compensated for by its bright yellow ! Certainly conspicuous . Don’t think I’d feel comfortable in anything much smaller on my home patch . Maybe if I was away in a hotel elsewhere I could go down to one of the bikini bulge designs by Snyder which I do t like so much for the prominence but for the minimal strap size . I have one in purple and one in pink which I will wear at euro hotels .

Re: Pool Time!
We were out to dinner recently with some friends and got around to talking about swimming, which a female friend said she regularly did and also about what to wear at the pool. i bravely said I wear speedo style briefs, thinking she would baulk at this but she just smiled and said, 'Oh you like speedos; there's a few guys at the pool wear speedos'. She's part of our wild swimming group so looking forward to posing in my speedos for her!

Re: Pool Time!
Sounds great! Let us know how things go. If you see some of the other "Speedo Guys" there, tell them about the Forum! (Wow, "wild" swimming sounds like a "Nude Backstroke Marathon!," with the crowd yelling "Up Periscope" for the men's team!Schoolspeedo wrote: Mon Nov 27, 2023 11:10 am We were out to dinner recently with some friends and got around to talking about swimming, which a female friend said she regularly did and also about what to wear at the pool. i bravely said I wear speedo style briefs, thinking she would baulk at this but she just smiled and said, 'Oh you like speedos; there's a few guys at the pool wear speedos'.
