1. I would wear a traditional cut brief, which is usually a 2-3 inch side. I would avoid a 1 inch or less cut and really a 1.5 inch is smaller than usual. Remember, you are there to swim, not make a fashion statement.
2. I would not be too hung up on the fact that your anatomy might show, as long as you are not intentionally wearing a suit designed to make it show. Everyone knows that swim briefs show bulges and such. If you wear a suit designed for fitness or competitive swimming you have no reason to worry. Avoid tranparent or translucent colors. No one wants to see your anatomy that vividly at a lap pool.
3. No one cares if you don't wear goggles, but I can't imagine swimming in a public, heavily chlorinated pool without them. The damage to your eyes should tell you to go get goggles. If you are not wearing goggles because you don't put your head in the water you really need to change your swimming technique.
4. Shower and walk to the pool in your swimsuit, assuming the locker leads to the pool. If you have to walk through the gym to get there, just do whatever the other guys do.
I love hot swimwear more than most. A pool designed for lap swimming is not the place for suits that are more designed to flaunt your male parts. A time and a place for everything.
