If it was just you and your wife on a sailboat, why bother to wear anything?

Well, we had hired a captain to skipper the boat for the week and I wanted some sexy tan lines. The result was to wear my KoalaSwim suits.

A nice aside is that when we would come in and anchor at the beaches where other people are present, I wouldn't have to go cover up. I could hop right off the boat and into the water.

Totally understand where you're at Speedswimmer. There's a line between what's generally acceptable at a pool and what isn't, but it's not easy to say exactly where that line is. These are currently my favourites for lap swimming - standard pair of Speedos. I do sometimes wear breifs with 1in sides - never had any problems or comments. Helps if it's a pool where speedos are common.

Speedobilly - you look great in those. I think they look athletic and you certainly have earned the right to wear them. Do you weight train? Your legs look strong. Very impressive and a body worthy of display.

MrMusik, you inspired me to check out Koala again. Though I wouldn't consider most of their offerings, I see two that I'll contemplate -- their Nucleus and their Beach Dazzled Bikini.

The Koala Neoprene suits are designed for looking "feminized" and smaller in front, which I like, but the original poster wanted to look bigger. I have the Skin Diver which is flat-front, sleek and comfortable. The Beach Dazzled has a "micro pouch" and it says the thick Neoprene keeps you small, snug & sleek too, has anyone tried that yet?

Whoa, bikenswim! I didn't catch that. Good call. I won't be buying that one then. Thanks, man.

I agrr red is a great color along with white

I'm with everyone else recommending the Sporti suits. The sizing is very small though and I got something way too small for my first sporti suit. They are though the most flattering skimpy suit that looks like a sport or competition type.
