This particular Speedo suit is just about an inch and a quarter side width; which is typical of the Japanese competition suits. I have a few competition suits that are cut a bit smaller, which was the style about 8 years ago (when I bought them). I wear all of these at the public pool without issue - I'm there to swim as are most everyone else there! Probably 50% of male swimmers in brief suits on any given day; it varies.
There are always a few people that walk the lanes for resistance exercise, though.
