Hello,
I'm brand new to swimming and I'm signed up for a class beginning next week. I just received in the mail: two jammer shorts that fit well (size 40 waist), two swim caps, and two sets of goggles that seem good.
I'm not scared of the water but I am concerned about my body image. Will I be glared at or is it common to see fat people at the pool? I don't really see a practical/comfortable way to wear a 'shirt' to cover up my hairy chest and belly. Will I be committing any faux pas by showing my hairy chest and back? Should I even care?
Thanks for any advice and encouragement :)
Do this for yourself!! As an over weight swimmers myself, you are doing what is right for you, so do not worry about what others think.
The skinny guy is in the same water as you. All body types swim.
