Once you can do those first 10 lengths non stop then start noticing who else is swimming. Try to swim alongside someone a little better than yourself, when they try to overtake you hang on to them as long as possible before you relax and continue at your own pace. Once you can not only hang onto them but start dropping them it is time to find a better swimmer to swim alongside. Once you have burned off your first decent swimmer you've earned the right to wear speedos. Once you're one of the best swimmers in the pool then you've earned the right to wear brightly coloured or print speedos and you'll notice other guys starting to wear speedos.
One local swimming club used to make new swimmers wear yellow swim caps, once the swimmers were good enough for the club to enter them in races they were given blue club swim caps. earning a blue club swim cap became important.
