If you come to swim in the UK, leave your Speedos at home - and get your bikini line sorted.

What do jammers do that speedo's don't ? It depends on how loose the brief is and how faded out/stretched the fabric is. Briefs also are commonly patterned (camouflage) where most jammers just have a side inset of patterned fabric. Jammers are usually worn tight which can silhouette the contours.
I don't think there were as many old fat hairy guys at the pool when I was growing up. There were few overweight people in general back then. Briefs (not usually a racing suit, more like a drag suit) were the normal men's suit in my recollection of the 60's/early 70's. Anybody swimming in cut-offs or long shorts seemed like a doofus, actually.
