Boys/sons speedos

[Turbofan]

Hey guys just curious. How many of you have put your sons in speedos as they grew up? My son wore them pretty much all his life. A short respite in his teen years but he wears them again pretty much all the time now.

Anybody else get your boys into speeds?

I'm just college age myself and don't have kids, but I will put them in speedos when I do!

My son did not do any swimming until he was a teen, and even then it wasn't for very long. But he wanted to be like the other guys his age and wear baggy board shorts. He did, however, wear a somewhat snug rash guard, similar to mine (he has body/self -image issues like both of his parents).

the son was in competitive swimming and wore Speedo. Saw me in Speedo on a regular basis. Not sure what his preference is today, but like many his age, follows the liking of his buddies.

While I'm college age and no kids of my own, I hope that one day they'll wear them like I do. My teenage nephews have showed interest in them after seeing me in them several times.

Until recently my son always wore shorts for swimming and visits to the beach. Recently i decided to put him in a speedo, after seeing other boys in them i thought speedos would be much better for him. He hated it and complained at first (Just started puberty) but hes gotten real used to them now. He doesnt swim competitively but he does like to swim a lot

No boy is going to admit to his mates that his mother has made him wear speedos, so when his mates see him in speedos at the pool he has to bluff it out and act like he chose them. He 'll say how they let him swim faster and then race them to the other end of the pool. I f he beats them then more of them will be in speedos next time.

Think moms are ones generally charged with wardrobe decisions for their children so will probably depend on their tastes until kids start making their own fashion decisions.

I think you're right, Mollyk. I do remember that i was given money to buy my first Speedo in 7th grade - the team had a deal with a sporting goods store and we bought them there. That was the first article of clothing that I can ever remember buying on my own (I rode my bike to the store). I don't ever remember choosing my own underwear until high school (but she was with me when we shopped). In terms of Speedos - Mom's have an awful habit of buying clothes a little on the large size (he will grow into them) which is a horrible idea for Speedos as boys need them to fit properly and not be loose.
