Speedos AND Short Shorts

[California Dolphin]

This was posted in late 2012 and it indicates a trend back to speedos for swimming and also short shorts (near the last part of the vid) for working out on land:

Great vid and well shot - forgotten what it was like to see competitive swimmers actually wearing speedos !

I love the pool shots and the two guys who have their strings out and sailing. Cool.

Every year we see articles predicting a return to sensible swimwear for men, and every year it doesn't happen.

So true - I wonder how many times I have been internet browsing and excitedly spot a headline MEN RETURNING TO THEIR SPEEDOS! or the
many variations thereof in some fashion post somewhere.
Then I check the date - big disappointment - written three or four years ago!

With men's running shorts, it IS definitely happening here in San Francisco.

There's a jogging path "The Embarcadero" around the waterfront and about 1/2 the guys are wearing traditional (pre 90's) shorts.

By "traditional", I mean at least 1/2 way up from the knees and some are even 2/3 up.

Also see my other post (back in December of 2012) about what I saw at the community college pool.
