Why I do not like to swim in boardshorts

[California Dolphin]

If some feel socially uncomfortable wearing a speedo, are there old fashioned "trunks" available?

I learned to swim in the 1960s and I wore something like short gym shorts only they were made of nylon for water tolerance.

As for boardies, they're an example of a shovel with a rope handle and absolutely USELESS for anything in the water or just laying around the pool or beach.

Jammers are just streamlined boardies and also another nuisance.
