Just an interesting observation (to me at least) regarding the beach comments. When I swam in high school (early 70's) and now in my recent return to Masters, I would never even think of wearing speedos to the beach . . . never did.
But when we head to the beach for open water swim training, my teammates and I never give it a second thought. I have no idea what those around us may think, but where I would be completely self conscious and embarrased if I wore a speedo for surfing, body boarding, or just plain hanging out, I don't have any such qualms when racing or training at the beach.
For what it's worth.
