57-year-old has fashion sense: www.theaustralian.com.au/.../story-e6frg6so-1226117947666 I linked to the Australian article because it calls Speedos budgie smugglers.

  • I've definitely seen guys wearing Speedo-type suits on the beach that made me want to throw up, not because they were fat but because the suit was see-through or too tight or cut too small. :afraid:Do they have the right to wear them? Sure. Do I want to see that? No. But for lifeguards and competition, people need to wear what works for them, imo, and while uniforms are important, there needs to be some flexibility. If the standard lifeguard suit is a bikini, does that meant that the woman has to wear a bikini if she wants the job? Why? You can do the job perfectly well in a one-piece, and the employer should provide some options for people that would prefer, for whatever reason, to wear a less revealing suit. Same goes for the men.
