I'm with you and your dad, Turbofan. I'll be 72 in 4 short years and plan to be wearing briefs then and long after. I don't like boardies in general and not on me, but I must admit that some guys wearing boardies low on their hips look pretty hot.

It's not easy swimming lots of laps in the pool as you get older, so the last thing I need is being dragged down with board shorts.

Being Turbofan Snr's age my aesthetic drawback is spindly legs and boardies are of little help in coverage there - in fact they may even emphasise them, especially when wet.

I will say one thing. Seeing a older guy in speedos who isn't morbidly obese to me looks like he's all business. He isn't here to stare at teenagers and get wasted. There are exceptions to the rule but....

Bede,

I know exactly what you mean. As you know from my posts, I just started lap swimming about 3 months ago, so my only experience is wearing very snug, low cut briefs. I absolutely cannot imagine swimming laps in boardshorts

Re.post#41 I need some translation there please knikon - I don't follow the slang connections to understand the guy envisaged "here" (where?) in the description.
We start with him not being morbidly obese and he is "all business" (what business?).
He doesn't stare nor get "wasted" (wasted is excessive consumption of drink and/or drugs ?)

Meaning that typically if I see an older guy on the beach ("here" as I almost never am at a pool) in a speedo who is somewhat to fully fit he is working out or swimming or engaging in an athletic activity and not acting like a fratboy (yes in california there are guys MANY guys who go to the beach to specifically hit on young girls and get intoxicated or high which really isn't legal)
