Of course, cameras that can take long-lens photos are getting extremely cheap and lightweight. As Megapixels increase, someone taking a general photo of a swim meet could easily blow up the section showing a guy in a Speedo to fill the frame and be sharp, and post the photo to the Internet. I seriously doubt that this could ever be deemed somehow illegal in any way shape or form any more than the celebrity photographers do anything illegal selling photos of celebs thdey have snapped long lens or not.
Unless you ban cameras entirely at pools and swim meets (which would be all but impossible to do unless you also banned devices containing cameras such as phones etc), I think a better strategy would be to simply assume that if you are in any place where others are around there is a possibility that your photo could be taken. I suspect some clothing retailers even have cameras in changing rooms as a method of identifying shoplifters, but they obviously are not going to make that public. Further, if you are uncomfortable being seen in a photo in a brief-style suit, why should you be any more comfortable just being seen by the public wearing the suit? This makes no sense to me at all.
Never mind the photography that goes on in and around the security areas at airports.
But, lets get back to the central theme of this thread which involves guys photographing themselves while enjoying themselves in their suits, and then posting the photos or movies.
