Colour of the month challenge July 18

[Torchwatch]

It's summer here now, time to try out those lighter colours, the opaque ones in the public pool and the more sheer ones in private gardens and pools, and those quiet spots on beaches where you won't upset anyone.

So this month's colour challenge is light blue.

Time to get out those ice blue Aussibums you've been hiding.

About to head out to the hot tub in these:

It’s a fairly cool 4th of July.

Although the workout was cut short by a damn leg cramp, only 1,300 yards, I did my patriotic duty today and swam the flag. it is not the light blue,, but the best I fan do on the 4th. Later this week we will do a lighter blue suit.

Good effort both of you, stars and stripes count as light blue on 4th July.
It's better to drop out if cramped than to push on and need rescue, no honour lost.
All my light blue (and some other) swim briefs now now packed and loaded in the car, taking the midnight ferry to Dieppe, France tonight and heading for the Bordeaux coast.

Did 2,000 yards in my Japanese Arena sky blue suit with white contrast side panels - closest thing to a light blue suit that I have!

I just went kayaking on a mostly empty lake wearing my new royal retro nylon aussiebums. While not the see through ice color, they are fairly light colored when dry, then a deeper blue once they get wet.

I don't know how long AB has had this retro style nylon suit but it's close to the cut of my workout suits and I found it very comfortable to wear all day.

This Andrew Christian suit is old and well worn; the lycra is losing its vitality. :(

That is unfortunate! I have one of those in royal blue and one in black. They are extremely comfortable suits to wear.

I arrived back from SW France on Sunday morning, whilst on the big open beaches, dunes and forests of the Gironde I swam, hiked and sunbathed in my light blue desmiit swim briefs:

And my Aussiebum ice blue WJ Classic 1.5. yes they go go rather see through in the sea, but no one minded: https://www.aussiebum.com/swimwear/wonderjock-classic-1.5-ice-blue/761

There's enough space for everyone in SW France and no one minds what you do so long as you don't interferre with them. Short shorts are normal and wearing speedos and wet suits around the campsites to be expected.

Best wishes and loads of points to those who've made the effort to wear light blue swim briefs while I've been away.

Torchwatch i have the desmiit thong in yellow light blue white light green and black absolutely love them my favorite swim thongs. so soft and lined.

Went swimming today, wore light blue aussiebems, the fake version, I rather like them, they are Lycra and don't go see through. Only swam 30 lengths as still tired from working in the heat last week, and had a touch of indigestion from eating cucumber at lunch time.

Half the pool was lanes, the other half free swimming for the kids now they are on holiday. Lots of the kids are choosing to wear short shorts and square-cuts in the pool, things are changing. The kids (and fathers) coming back from Europe are better tanned and more likely to be wearing shorter shorts and square-cuts than those who haven't been away yet.

Although its old - it looks great!
