Gentlemen! What is de rigueuer swimming pool attire today?

Northwind

Knackered my knee a little bit and can't ride so I fancy going for a swim, in a swimming pool, for I think the first time in 18 years. Now my old trunks have decayed away to nothing, and I can't wear speedos because I have a tiny penis, so what should I be wearing? I think all I've got now is a huge pair of quicksilver board shorts.

Thats what you get for trying to get in touch with your hippy side

Oh, and I believe that nothing at all is the given nowadays

I tend to wear Boardies. But, TBH, if your doing length's properly, as awful as they are, Speedo's are the only way. They are more comfortable and drag noticeably less. I wear them if I'm doing lengths. But generally, I avoid them at all costs...

Then again, most of my swimming is in the sea, in a wetsuit, or boardies depending on the time of the year and how much Weetabix I ate that morning.

Nothing at all, or just normal boxers, but if you jump in, or swim fast, hold them somehow. Could always do with a pair of suspenders to solve that problem though.

I've gone swimming (well, avoided drowning) in board shorts. Nobody said a thing.
Although, I do have a pair of James bond style short short swimming trunks that my ex said I looked quite fetching in.

Jammers are the boys. Being the same shape and size as my cycle shorts I don't have a problem with tan lines.

These from wiggle are ace

But yeah jammers all the way, they cover more and are quick in the water.
80% of my swim club wear jammers for a reason.
Then when on the beach you can put your board shorts over the top.
Though Kitty is the real expert

See, my ex liked me wearing a black pair of "Daniel Craigs", and said I looked like him.


I should point out that she took far too many drugs

Northwind

Yeah, but he's wider round each arm than I am round the waist

Been swimming in the sea a few times since I was last in a pool but, it's November, therefore the sea can **** off.

Triathlon shorts - can always be used on the bike too under long MTB shorts that com without a pad

BlackSpur

If you plan on swimming any sort of distance then it has to be something lycra! Normal speedos or something longer like posted above, just make sure you get in the water quickly so noone can see your (lack of) cock bulge.

It's not the lack of package that causes problems in my case, it's the shocked gasps of the women. Several of them have drowned in excitement.

Like Duh! The mankini of course!

Or a pair of Vilbrequin boardies.

I wonder why?

the number of men wanting you to be in lycra is disturbing.

I think you are confusing me with your ex. But who can blame the poor girl for turning to drugs. Didn't she become a nun?

Talking of Bond like swimming, just wear a full dinner suit and carry a breathing apparatus given to you by q

Or in the real world, Imy personal choice is a pair of red swim shorts, short length a la baywatch.

And like the Hoff, i go and get leathered afterwards

Unlike the Hoff, I can't swim properly so i makes no odds what I wear

you want watershorts at your age so you don't look like a spacker about to be arrested.

I do a bit of pool swimming and I use Daniel Craig style speedo short things. IMO they're ideal as they're not trunks(which have all sorts of problems) but they're not baggy shorts.

If you're just going in for a splash around wear shorts or whatever, if your going for a proper swim, invest in a pair of the Daniel Craig short things or Tri shorts.

Board shorts if on holiday / mis length trunks if at the pool.

Boardshorts are no good for 'serious# swimming

Northwind

No serious swimming involved Board shorts duly employed for a bit of casual length bagging and general splashing around. Not so much swimming, as narrowly avoiding drowning for an extended period I think if I was going to do it often I'd get some of those jammers but not much point if I go for a near-drown twice a year

Cheers folks

my real advice is to take your obvious and 2 balls, shove them backwards and up your necessary.

this way, no one will see your junk and nothing reduces drag when swimming like shoving your knackers up your ar5e.

peter413

Problem with that Sheeps is, well, he already lost them

Daz555

I just wear board/swim shorts but it does sort of irk me that traditional Speedos have gone the way of the dodo in terms of acceptable casual swimwear as frankly they are far far better for swimming in as they are designed for the purpose!

Is it too soon to make jokes about the wearing of Madeline McCann?

never too soon.

shes been dead since about an hour before her parents reported her missing so the world has had plenty of time to get used to it.
