We know all the reasons for wearing them, lets hope the self confidence grows and the social stigma dissipates. I wear a Speedo in my pool and on certain beaches around here. My 10 year old's favorite suit is his jammer, followed by his Speedo. He has gotten a friend to see the light, and those are their suits of preference (when they wear suits!). Several of his friends have tried them and seen the benefit, but can't get past the social stigma of wearing one. Hopefully the pendulum is swinging back toward the direction of common sense and comfort.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if those kids in jammers already wore Speedos... or less. I'd also bet they'll grow up to wear them, seeing as they already know first hand all the benefits and advantages.
