I swim regularly at an outdoor college pool in the eastern part of the U.S. Though in my 60s, I still wear brief TYR or Sporti suits. In June I started noticing a college guy sunbathing in a red Speedo brief, and sometimes a black brief suit of unknown manufacture. I assumed he swam and sunbathed but had not actually seen him in the pool. One day I walked into the locker room and he was standing at a locker, so I asked if he'd already finished a swim - he said yes, but then he started pulling on the red speedo, which confused me. He turned to me and said he was now going back out to the pool in what he called his "tanning brief" so he could work on his tan! We now chat frequently - he swims in a jammer suit, then changes into one of his two "tanning briefs" for an hour or so of suntanning! He is a European student and a very nice young man working on a PhD.
