First, Welcome to the board Tsturbo.  Hope you will enjoy it and be very active. 
 
Next, I think it safe to say that on this board I am famous for my opinion of wear what you are comfortable in.  For those of us that have passed the big 5-0, it is generally wiser to stick to a more standard cut with a 2 or 3 inch side. Although thongs and string bikinis are fun to wear, somehow we become a cliche and can look a bit foolish.  (Unless you are like Dick Clark and haven't aged since 30) 
I have worn mine ever since I was a kid and enjoy them and never give a second thought to them being appropriate when at a pool or beach. 
 
Again welcome and congrats for being secure enough in yourself to wear what you want and enjoy
