What age will you wear Speedos to?

[Bede735]

Can't see me ever wearing board shorts. Hard enough doing the lengths when you're getting older, without being dragged down in the water by those garments.

I think the important thing is that you do what makes you feel good and also comfortable. Especially as we get older and when some of us enter the retirement years, we need to take care of ourselves, both physically and mentally. If wearing speedos makes you feel good, do it and don't be concerned with what others say. They are at fault for being rude and insensitive. I wouldn't suggest wearing a thong at a family pool or beach because of the presence of kids, but wear that speedo or bikini and use discretion in which one of your collection you choose.

Not sure I'd want to wear one in the USA. See video link of girls and boys jumping off a cliff into water:

You would think they were a different species.

I'm surprised you were allowed to wear boardshorts to swim lessons, where I am you'd be denied entering the pool to attend swimming lessons.

You'll realise once you've worn a pair of briefs or jammers that it actually is not as bad as you think it is, in fact you'll realise (dare I say this) you were the numpty in the 1st place for not wearing the ideal swimwear.

Yeah I know easier said than done, its why I love the Nike saying "Just do it"

So, where exactly is "where I am"?

if you lived here , in Lima, Peru, South America, you'll understand why "just do it" would be a bad idea when wearing swimwear, dear Chris.

Where exactly? - a boardies ban make me guess France and numpty Scotland

[shaulis]

I didn't think Peru was as conservative about swimwear as they are. I thank you ,thisweirdthing1985, for making me aware of the situation.

thisweirdthing1985,

I know that Brazil and Argentina are not at all conservative about swimsuits. Do you know if other South American countries are more like Peru or Brazil?
