Let's celebrate that the young people are going back to briefs and let's lead by example wherever we live, whether it is Maine, Vermont, California, or any other place.

My only response to Andrew's last question in the article is: "ya think???"

If he is "making frequent trips to the beach in an attempt to bronze my lily white body." then why did he " walked onto the beach wearing a white vest and pair of knee length board shorts"
It doesn't make sense, if you want a tan you should remove excess clothing, and if everyone else has done the same , then why worry.

He says that some pools in the UK have banned Speedos? Can't say I've heard of any.

Stigmatized speedos
 

I just came back from my local Y where I did my laps. I forgot that today was member appreciation day. The pool was open to families and there were several families already there at 10:00 AM. I was able to swim in the lane near the side of the pool and I was wearing my new Turbo Ipanema. Not a single look or word - families just continued to swim and play in the water. Maine is a very progressive state and I believe that people just let others go about their business without comment. I suspect that Turbofan and Dorcas from Vermont and STS from Maine would agree that New Englanders are pretty low key when it comes to subjects like swimsuits.

I'm Canadian, from Toronto.
I don't think we're as speedo phobic as you yanks.

Alton Towers a permanent fun fair and resort banned speedos from their pool, I believe they were getting guys showing up in micro bikinis and thongs. Banning classic racing styles as well seems a bit extreme, but it was a woman in charge.
