Waterpark
Hey, I'm new and just discovered this board. A always speedos when sunning by the pool or going to the beach. For the first time this summer I wore one to a waterpark in florida. It was the Sea World park Aquatica. The day before at Disney I saw so many Europeans I figured wearing a speedo to a waterpark the next day would be no big deal and there would be lots of foreigners in them. When we got there I didn't see any other men in them right off the bat and i was self-conscious and considered wearing board shorts only I had only packed my navy blue 3" speedo and wasn't going to spend the day going down the slides in the cargo shorts I wore there. As we headed to the locker room I saw a man in his late 30's early 40s walking with his wife and daughter and he had a pair of square cuts on so I felt a little more at ease. After exiting the locker room I spent the rest of the afternoon in the speedo. I saw 2 other speedos on men and a handful of square cut suits. I did get some stares and giggles from young kids and teenagers and one man kind of sighed and shook his head as he walked by at one point. I definitely felt out of place but after waiting in line a few times and walking around a little bit I felt more at ease. My question is, should I have been as self conscious? Was it as big a deal as I am making it? Do you think the people there really cared that much? Has anyone had any other similiar experiences at water parks? No one said anything directly to me about it
