Appropriate for community pool?

I’m fairly conservative myself, but those look ok to me. I wouldn’t go much lighter in color than that though.

The briefs I wear to the pool are lined, but I have worn unlined square cuts before without incident. I think people's attention gets more drawn to the bulge if the thighs aren’t covered maybe?

Really depends on the crowd though. I’m in Northern California where you won’t see many people wearing tight fitting suits, but they don’t really bat an eye if you do.
