Even though as swimmers, most of us look "pretty good" for our ages, I still can't help but think that walking around in a modern Speedo is disconcerting for some. Most of the suits are cut for kids who are 22 years old or younger and have as much material in them as a hankie. The correct waist size suit covers less body than my Fruit-of the Looms. Does anyone know of a manufacturer selling a suit more like the old Ocean-Pacific suits we had back in the 60's?
I want to wear a traditional suit and not one of the newer body-suits. I know it doesn't bother other masters swimmers, but I recently officiated a USA meet where a 37 year old man entered and walking around in his Speedo looked very out of place among the kids.
Basically, I'm just wondering if there's a more modest alternative on the market.

There are several more modest styles out there, at least one by Speedo. When I was shopping a few weeks ago, I found a suit that I was convinced was mislabeled - it was way too big to be a 34. When I showed it to the clerk, she convinced me that it was a 'modest style.'
Her comment was that only us old guys were comfortable in the racing suits anymore!:o
