What did you do in your speedo today?!

[ReservedEnthusiast]

Today in my speedo I went swimming for the first time in a year! (Yes, I got in the pool when I went to Arizona a couple months ago, but I don't count that because it was not for exercise and only lasted a few minutes because of how sun-heated the water was.) It was at my local gym in my hometown where I used to go with my mom. I went really light and only swam 500 yards because it's been so long, but I've also been eating less and have felt a lack of energy for the past couple days. Anyway, it felt so good to be back in a speedo in a gym pool setting and in the refreshing water.

I did have a couple awkward/potentially awkward moments, though. First, I went over to the jacuzzi to soak after my swim and a bit of sun-drying. I was soon joined by an older woman, probably 60's, and looked of Indian or Middle Eastern descent who was wearing a shirt in the pool in addition to her suit. So, I got the general impression that she was conservative in nature. Meanwhile, I had forgotten to check the timer before I got in, which meant that the jets turned off after about 5 minutes. I was seated closer to the dial, so she asked me if I would turn them back on, and I agreed, being a gentleman, but my mind froze as I realized that here I was, an overweight, pasty white young guy wearing nothing more than a navy blue speedo, and I would now be putting myself on full display for her! :0 Fortunately, she either paid no mind or didn't mention anything, so I was able to relax again.

Then, as I was heading back indoors, a rather attractive young female personal trainer came out the door to the pool deck with two rather attractive girls, obviously getting a tour. I tied my towel around my waist and rolled the top to keep it from dropping, but as I approached the girls to pass them and go inside, I felt the towel beginning to slip! If I weren't careful, I'd expose my speedo to those cute girls, and I'm not ready to advertise myself in that way yet! As coolly as I could manage, I pressed one hand holding the goggles against the towel to hold it in place and keep it from slipping off. Then, I got back inside and quickly changed to go home for dinner.

And that's what I did in my speedo today.
