I currently have a request in to Hurricane Harbor in Arlington, TX to provide something like this. It's all I ask. I wore my Turbos and Aussiebums last year with no issues, but before I buy a season pass this year I'd like to make sure I'm going to be welcome all year.

Last night at Poirier Pool a pretty good crowd tied up six lanes with some swim lessons, swim team, and lap swimming. Not to mention the play pool and enormous hot tub. Of course most men wore huge baggies because they can't swim anyway. Amongst the actual swimmers were myself, three other men and two boys in speedos compared to probably ten in jammers. The boys in speedos were on the swim team, one was one of those absolutely perfect specimens of the superbly proportioned swimmer's body at about 16-17.
So this is to report that the public here had no problem with what I wore in the pool and it was quite the norm. Just like everywhere else I have ever been.

Near Vancouver, BC. Where there is a fantastic rec center in every neighborhood. Finest aquatic centers I've ever seen, a dozen within half an hour of my hotel. i love it here.

Well last night's swim at City Center Aquatics was very nice, it was very crowded in the leisure lanes and hot tub. The five lap swim lanes only had about three to four swimmers each except the fastest one which was just myself and another fellow.
As the pool is a 50 meter with a center bulkhead dividing a 25 yard shallow pool from the deep end, that left room for a water polo game going on, it seemed to be a big deal. There were a lot of spectators on deck all around it.
As for Speedo count there was myself and the guy I swam with, another in the next lane, and an older fellow with a huge gut waddling around. Not a pretty picture. Otherwise there was all the water polo players of course.
As for non swimmers and kiddie pool waders and hot tubbers there must have been a hundred of them in the standard board shorts which really don't hide the fact that most of the wearers are in no better shape than old Mr. Not Pretty Picture, lol.
I had no complaints of indecency directed at me, the lifeguards did not once blow the whistle at me and order me to put on something more appropriate. So I conclude this report by saying that particular public swimming location is Speedo friendly, just like every other pool I have ever been to.

Well i know this is the speedo board but my last swim was in a neck to knee racer back suit and had no issues with other swimmers or pool staff.

I push the back coverage to 3/4 or 1/2 at my swim club with the encouragement (and amusement) of the staff. It's a incentive to stay in shape or just to make the effort to show up to do laps. My doctors applaud my efforts as well.
