Dad is well into his 70's now but still wears speedos to take a dip in the sea several times a week. He is also very unapologetic about wearing them and has always said that you need to be confident in your own skin and what you wear. So, to this day I also wear speedos to my gym pool and on holiday. You're right, they do get some glances but if you wear with confidence, people generally don't give it a second thought. Thanks for sharing the links to the home movies - looks like you guys had lots of fun on holidays. Reminds me of large family trips that we have taken in the past - everyone in shorts and myself and my father in speedos! Thanks to your Dad also for sharing the more recent photo - he has certainly stayed in shape with all of the swimming! Incidentally, the link you posed to his Facebook post is broken - I was looking forward to reading how your Dad rebutts any comment that might be making fun of him! Any chance you could repost that ? Thanks!

Thanks very much for your comments!

And yep, I've reuploaded the screenshot of Facebook comments here: http://i.imgur.com/EPS61wc.png
