Hello all. I'm 27 and used to be on swim team all through elementary, middle, and high schools. I've always been in fairly good athletic shape and worked out regularly. However, lately I haven't been in the gym lately and haven't been going as much as I should. I'm not as athletic as I once was, but I am still in decent shape, and it's not like I'm extremely fat.
However, I have recently started getting back in to the pool and started swimming laps at both my local Lifetime Fitness and my local city aquatic complex. I am just wondering if it would still be appropriate to wear a Speedo while swimming laps. I wore swim briefs all the time for swim team and diving. But lately since I haven't been swimming in a while. would it still be good to wear them? I realize I will probably get odd looks from some people, but regular swimming trunks give me too much drag in the pool and jammers don't always work as good for me. It's not like I wear any outrageous colors. Just black or dark blue Speedos. I just want to get back into swimming again, and I want to be comfortable while doing it too. Thoughts and advice?
Comfort is the main thing, really. Just remember, you've got a brief walk to the pool then once you're in, most folks can only see what part of you is above water. And the pool is full of people who are keeping their heads in the water, laser focused on that black line underneath them, and only seeing the rest of the scene around them in tiny little glimpses when they breathe.
